Fleeting

Happiness is
Fleeting, still I
Tried. Loving you
Despite your lies
Thought I mattered
Your alibis
The games you played
Still I remained
Flowers, baubles
Sweet your kisses
Late night whispers
Your delicious
Was suspicious
Tell me darling
Why now goodbye?
The rules have changed
Tainted this ride
Queen of pretence
Make believe life
Fairy tale love
My life sentence
Build your castle
A new princess
Your empty words
False overtures
Stealing my mind
One final time
Insanity
Still I am here
On bended knee
Begging, pleading
To mean something
Anything please
Happiness is
Fleeting really
Make your mistakes
Never look back
It’s much too late
