Naivety

There was this boy.
Everything I knew before we met...
Everything I learned after...
All lies.
The glimmer of his eyes and the words he said
Meant nothing to him, but had the oposite effect on me.
Nothing feels better than always having someone captivating around.
[[I don't believe that captivating has ever been used as an adjective but then again there's a first time for everything.]]
My name was Naivety
And he was taking advantage.
Still, I was having the time of my life.
Then Deciet came along and stole his heart out of my hands...
And he disappeared.
He is different now; changed.
And the "I'm sorry"s were the emptiest words I (n)ever heard.
broken.badnews.
goodbye. you left and took my feelings with you.
