A Lover's Tale Poem by Lauren Renee'

As he looked up at the moon
He saw his lover’s eyes
He hoped that time would go by soon
Never knowing of her lies

The lies and secrets she fought to hide
Of her enticing night masquerade
Forever changing like the tide
All she knew of love was what men paid

Men fell in the fantasies she wove
But love was not something she knew
And as he fell deeper in love
She felt nothing new

When the fateful day did come
He presented her a ring
She laughed in his face and called him dumb
For what use did she have of this bling?

Your heart broken, all torn in two
You walked away in tears
Never knowing I did love you
Never knowing all my fears

Months later I saw you once more
Dead and in the ground
I followed you, my heart all tore
Followed, for this love I had just found
