Love Poem: Toxic Paradise

Toxic Paradise

It's not really love, it's a toxic paradise
You want it to be more and I don't want to fight
You said I could trust you, but honestly, I swear
to me lies and deception aren't really that fair
You asked for forever with a falsely sweet please
but when I look at our future there's nothing to see
I fell for your smile and I thought that you cared
but I learned the hard way that perfection is rare
An act, now shattered glass, and I know you had a part
Now I'm saving pieces of my cracked and bleeding heart
