the pretender
True love
Remains firm
In the midst of temptation
Sweet words of affection
Leads to fruits of desire
Strange fantasies can disturb
The lonely and foolish heart
True love is not an illusion
Absence tests the fragile soul
A crafty seducer
Can whisper
Even on paper
Yet usually the snares
Filled with empty promises
Better to wait for reality
Than to be beguiled
By yet another pretender
