Astray (Poem)

Oh, how you play me with those deceiving eyes,

An innocent look redressing your cunning lies.

What lover? You’re yet a stranger, in the fairest disguise.

Tho my heart still belongs to you who agonize.

Such a wretched betrayal concurred to our sudden demise,

I was absolute to you — where hath your affection lies?

Yet I fell in love with the soul behind your caressing eyes —

Never did I think’d this is how we’d say goodbyes…
