Misconception of Love
by laquisha
I was so happy when you noticed my smile,
and had my mind wondering for a while.
You told me all those nice things I wanted to hear,
but that was only when we were alone and not out there.
I was misleaded by your comments about how much you loved me.
You bought me in circles and told me that with me was where you wanted to be,
but when we wereout there, you know with your friends, you did not seem to care.
I wondered if somehow you were ashamed of me,
the one you said you loved.
But infatuation blinded mysight
like the darkness of the night.
So naive was I not to look beyond the face
and into another place.
And oh so inept was I not to see
how really shallow and self-centered you could really be.
I asked you why you didn`t want the world to know,
you said "baby you know I love you, I just don`t want people toknow;
"I just want our love to be between us."
But yetI would see you out there
sharing a love that was suppose tobe between us;
while I waited for you to come to me to tell me your stupid lies.
But then, I started to realize
that you were too good to be true.
That I was too mesmerized by your beautiful smile and your seductive eyes
that made me want to love you more and more.
That all the time I was thinking it was love,
and thinking you were as pure as the color of a dove,
was all the time you were using me when there was no one else
and I was taking it all in because I thought it was love.
But now my heart will be broken
and I will be left with words unspoken,
while my hopes and dreams of us, for sure
willjust vanish like words written in the sand upon the shore.
So just like that I was caught up
in a lie, a dream
a pure misconception of love.
