Infatuation

Infatuation 

Your beauty was a façade 
I saw what I wanted and not what I needed
But behold, as I dug deeper I only found
The things that even God might’ve frowned 
As smooth as a snake, being slimy and fake

You know what they say
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
And oh! How I found this to be trueness 
You say God is your saviour 
But your qualities speak of Judas

Sorry, not trying to be rude 
I speak not of depictions 
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
I speak of love, and my suspicions without frictions
Had we all those times on my shoulder 

It aches thinking your love was a façade 
Just like your prayers to your God
I was sent your way and O! You were quick to thank him 
Man who you adored, which you were fond	
Too bad your sincerity was untrustworthy and slim 

My challenges served me right 
The tests of frightening materialistic events 
You said money didn’t matter but that wasn’t true
Getting much offended, I mind you 
When I refused to pay for what wasn’t mine 

O baby why don’t you cry,
Cry a little more about how I’m such a great guy
Pray to your God and thank him for me 
The man that was so perfect but wasn’t keen 
Keen on what being a man had to mean
