Deception

Red roses
Charming looks 
Promises copied 
from romance books
A whisper 
soft kisses
a hand to hold
You presented me lead
merely coated in gold
Our beginning was based
on your smooth perfection
Lies, beneath the surface
all purely deception
I built paradise
on shifting sands
Gave up my heart 
To your endless demands
Abrupt 
like thunder
you swallow me whole
Drink your fill
Absorb my soul
I am consumed
Not a heart -just a shell
I gave you my heaven
To be left in your hell.
