Dead silence 

 

 

As I sit and stare into your eyes.

 I wonder if you realize.

I know they are all lies.

These words of love you profess to have for me. 

So easily spoke by you yet hold no truth.

To you the meaning is lost.

Love is mistaken for lust.

It burns hot and is short lived. 

Hollow with no real substance it leaves empty. 

How many others fall for this I can imagine many do. 

I won’t react and lose my composure.

I will sit and stare through you.

As easily as I saw through the illusion you presented to me.
