Illusion

Nothing could go right
It just wasn't meant to be.
Every promise, every spoken word
A lie to please the ears.
Tried so hard, never made it
Never gave up, what a fool
Pretending is what's left
It could not be enough.
But it made the others smile
The worry die down, the cheerful act rose.
Smiles got bigger
Lies became so much easier
Flowed together
What fools.
