Never Believe


                           Dreams get dismantled
                             In the shotgun blink
                              of a skeptical eye.
                                I felt it coming.
                             I tasted it on the air.


                          But who'd have thought
                          It would come so quickly?
                               In an instance,
                                Mere words
                             caught my heart in
                                   a vice.

                         While a blanket of questions
                              stuck to my head.


                               I easily detected
                              her ardous tone.


                             A simple deception.


                               An experience
                              that has opened
                                  my eyes.
