~ Vintage Lies ~ They weren’t particularly clever the words you laid before me yet I was blind to your endeavor to lure me out to sea I hadn’t time to raise my guard so quick and earnest you appeared I gave my safety no regard as the shoreline disappeared I basked in adoration in the gentle waves of your caress you spoke with such elation I saw no reason for distress our future seemed so flawless as we swam together in bliss me on the back of your promise tenderly sealed with a kiss cerulean waters and crystalline dreams white freesia breezes on our skin is love as simple as it seems, or did it ever really begin? your presentation, so appealing was intended for different eyes to win back another’s feelings you hooked me with your vintage lies treading water, I was suddenly alone not knowing why you had gone all your lies turned to stone and I struggled through the dawn I called for you, begging to know why but you were nowhere to be found you couldn’t even say goodbye you just left me there to drown. © Dahlia Ramone: September 24, 2017
