Stayed in denial, I didn't know I fell.
One day I will look upon my memories
and laugh, at how gullible I was to let a Romeo
like you into my heart, my soul.
You acted as though you liked me.
Was it all just an act, after all?
You played your part flawlessly.
Winning! At my expense… Big man!
Did you find another, better than I?
Was I not good enough. Or too good?
Building my barrier stronger.
Even Superman won't penetrate.
Your piercing brown eyes will not pervade!
I'll laugh at how blinded I was, to the person you are.
I thought you were ideality.
Showing your true colours has revealed…
'You will end up a lonely old man'.
And I will laugh as Karma has its day.
