For what reason did you lie
The truth could hurt no more than this
To find all that you said untrue
I freely gave my heart to you
It was a gift you threw away
Deception was the game you played.
'Twas more than just a game to me
I trusted you with all of me
I believed but now I see
You're only an illusion.

it is sad when we find out all that we knew of a person was just an "illusion".....but no matter how much it hurts to see the truth..always remember that once upon a time, even though it was an illusion, you had a smile on your face...try to hold on to small bright moments...when things go bleak.
im looking forward to read more from you!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

Good job! Very convincing...the pain, anger.
I liked the concept too.

"I believed but now I see
You're only an illusion. "

I just had a illusion that my spelling was correct until I posted!    Reason for correction.

What a truth is this ...

'The truth could hurt no more than this
To find all that you said untrue'
