Kalopsia

You see something shining
And you fall in love with it.
You're so mesmerized
That you can't see its faults.
There's a sweet delusion in your mind
That you don't know its there
Playing with your mind...
Making you fall more and more...
Deeper in love.
Time passes by
And the beauty is now gone.
A little bit remains
But not as much as before.
Things have changed
And now you know he played.
All you see is skin and bone
And not what he has shown.
After all this time
You finally know
Everything that shines
Isn't always gold.
Like salt seems like sugar
Till you get a taste.
When you finally tasted him
He wasn't all that much.
The bubble of love had bursted
And he was no longer
more beautiful than he really was.
