I saw the world through your eyes,
and with each word I spoke,
I heard your voice—
no matter how hard I tried to hide it.
Strangers whispered false love into my ears,
but for a brief moment, I believed them.
With one caress, I became theirs
while I wept into my pillow.
They saw me as weak and naïve
because you chose to be elsewhere.
Lust blinded them from the truth,
but what was your excuse?
