A false look in your eye
Twist of your mouth wasn`t right.
The way you`re smilin at me is kinda sly.
A finger down my cheek
Of course
you`re smiling at me,
but my heart tells me
it isn`t sincere.
Three words pop out of the blue-
I love you- then I start to boohoo
cuz I know it`s not true.
Three little words sendin shivers down my spine.

The author's comments:
I wrote this poem after I`d read this really good book, about a girl who`s been betrayed by the one she loves. I was inspired to create a little different scenario, in verse, while imagining myself in her shoes. I wanted to convey the message that love isn`t always real, no matter how much you think it is. Thanks for reading.
