Dreams, Illusions And Lies

Mere illusions that I dreamt about

Hidden inside a romance book

Dreamy eyes and pouty lips

False love that I mistook

Hook, line and sinker

I took the bait

A salesman

Selling

    That is the breaks when dealing and living in relationships. Got to take the good with the bad or the other way around the bad with the good.
