I Truly Believed

Lies cloud my mind and suddenly,
my future is no longer clear.
And hurt by betrayal and deceit,
I'm on the verge of a tear.

Infatuated with your smile,
I truly believed you loved me.
Then a jolt of reality,
showed what I didn't want to see.

We shared such intimate moments,
that all my doubts would go away.
Yet you were only using me,
and quickly led my heart astray.

A caldron of raw emotions,
erupted with molten fury.
And facing an onslaught of hurts,
anger sat as judge and jury.

Yet despite my trepidations,
I miss your charisma and charm.
And though it's hard to forget you,
it's harder to forgive the harm.
