Disillusionment

sonnet variant

 

 

 

Disillusionment.

 

I was so trustingly naïve.

Too young and foolish to believe.

That though she promised paradise

 all of her promises were lies.

I was in love and could not see

that she was merely using me

To her I was a stripling boy

the merest plaything just a toy.

A lesson all green youths must learn

 it comes to each of us in turn.

The angel which we think we see

 is not as she appears to be.

She’s merely out to have a fling,

 to her you do not mean a thing.

New here but here goes...

Humerous line of the day: It sounds as though you just broke up.

The rhyming flowed very nicely, and the poem carries a valuable message: Look deeper than the surface of things. The great title would tell anyone that. :) Nice poem.

Striking and powerful - a message to those that are fooled by an uncaring soul. Well penned. Thank you.
Light,
