I Was Mistaken

I was mistaken to think that your smile was real

It was absurd to think that you’d feel

Think that you’d see

Think that you’d be

Any different from her but she

Was given the chance and she failed

You never had the chance cause

From the beginning I could tell

I was mistaken about who I thought you were

A disguise, a spy, but did it ever occur

That you would one day be found

That a day would come when all would be out

To be viewed and seen by the least of us

Melancholy tones escape from your lips

A despondent look from the sounds of the brook

You deceive me? No never that

You fooled yourself

And left yourself

With nothing but yourself

And as you crash back into reality

And open your eyes to the stark visibility

Of your transparency

You feel nude and cover with fig leaves

But eventually…
