A mere sweetness to the eyes
With a gentle voice to add
Not a true threat to the field
In which a heart's moths do flutter.

To accompany a lonely smile
Aware of forced love's quaint facade
To lure a heart into deception.

Be it a game of love or lust
A tug of war of 'do's and 'don't's

To dress a lone smile with color.

Of a heart that's feigned affection
The hint that what was once reality
Could return if properly coaxed out.
