An amusing thought

A glimpse of your smile

The moment was short

But indeed worthwhile



You stole my eyes

You stole my mind

You cruel device

To me seemed kind



Your scheming act

That sinister care

Of kindness lacked

Yet seemed so fair



Suddenly awaked

By reality's call

For truth I ached

But you denied it all



The torch for you

I carried too long

Now there's no more glow

And I've grown strong



But when you smile

Exposed to your art

Again you beguile

My poor, lovesick heart
