A False Love Poem by Rick Elpers

A False Love

Rating: 5.0


I once believed that love 
however lasting
Brought into the light
was true
I now realize false intentions
carry so much illusion
they can be hidden 
under the cloak of a pretty face
That with time and betrayal
lose the suppleness of truth 
Eaten up by a naive soul
cleverly  mistaken by
a withering heart for one vibrant 
and loving hope
