SMOKE AND MIRRORS

SMOKE AND MIRRORS * Your love is like smoke Your love is like mirrors Once made to thrill But now bringing tears * What once seemed so purposeful once so profound Was only the up Of the eventual down * I once longed to hold you I once craved your love But nothing prepared me For what was to come * I was justfor show For your so-called friends The ones claiming loyalty To the bitter end * When you left the room They would wink at me And tell me tales Of howyou would be * How youwould get bored And want something new How you would discard me Like apair of worn shoes * And they were right And I was a fool I should have slept with them Like they wanted me to * The sting of love Has claimed many victims But the worst of all Is the one who does your best friend * WordPlaya, October 28, 2009 ******************************************************* I wrote this after seeing an old movie directed by Steven Soderberg called “Sex, Lies and Videotape” Really deep film about human nature. “A man learns to love the person he’s attracted to, while a woman learns to be attracted to the man she is in love with.” - loved this James Spader quote to Andy McDowell in the movie.
