My Lover's Words by Rehana Brijlall

My lover's words are sweet yet empty,
They are few yet plenty,
His words do speak of love,
But his eyes tell another story

His words are like cupid's arrow,
Once out, strucks the heart but only gives sorrow,
His words do carry smiles,
But if only I could see the viles.

My lover's words are precious and rare,
But they only entangle and ensnare,
They are seducive and give promises of a beautiful tomorrow,
But they are lies borrowed,
His words do seem magical yet logical,
If only they were not so tragical.
