Unmasked

a poem by Satyanand Vijay

When I first saw you,
I thought you were made for me;
But you didn’t give me a clue,
That this is how you’d turn out to be.

Your mask of outer beauty,
Made my mind go hazy,
I couldn’t clearly see,
That what I was doing was crazy.

But now the fog has cleared;
I can see your true colours now;
And just as I’d feared,
What I felt wasn’t true love.

Laughing and poking fun,
Mocking and ridiculing me;
You put me back in square one;
Still wondering who that special girl could be?
