Love Poem: Pseudo Love

Pseudo Love

lurid spindle of life 
spawning threads of fairy tales
and ephemeral happy endings

polar shockwave of deception
ice rushing through veins
lured out of the shadows
I lift my veil of shame

stare me right in the eyes
spin me some of your best lies
everything is feigned
but I can still see through you

fraudulent with hate
nothing but a fake
until it all comes crashing down
reality is coming into view

I can read your mind
nowhere for you to hide
spurious emotion exposed
mired in lamentation

iridescence of regret
I say nothing yet
Calculating invitation
