deceiving fear

i told you my fear
you promised it wasn't true
i believed you for a while
until the truth was hiding

unseen yet felt
a simple mocking glance
it gave away the whole look
the heart behind the words could not be hidden

the day will come
when the truth will not be flattery
when the glance will no longer be a glance
but a disdainful stare

look hard and find out where it was left
look far and know that the distance traveled was hard
and the trust was misplaced in the end
given over to a day when words were plentiful and often wasted

my fear was seen
in the end it must not be shown for the truth that lies behind it
but the good that will never come of the deceit
in the end the truth is not a pet to be manipulated
