False Hope

When she smiles is that the reason,

You find Joy in your heart?

Her Laughter gives the meaning

To the relationship that starts.

I am sure you felt the softness

As she leaned in to speak

To you about her dreams

With you she’d like to reach.

You got lost in those eyes that saw

The man you were supposed to be

In this world of desperate longing

And loveless cruelty.

It was her voice that captured you

In a moment of blissful need

You fell prey to the splendor

She provided your ego to feed.

There was no doubt that beauty touched your soul

With hands of grace,

And your being was staggered

By the perfection of her face.

The sadness is unbearable

Having lost, most men cannot cope

With the stark realization

That happiness was but false hope.
