He was so charming, but never a prince.

Sweet words he chose to mix and mince.

How could my mind have been so dense,

To let my heart rob me of common sense?

It's true, I fell for many of his smooth lines.

Love pricks like a fork with sharpened tines.

Wounds causing me to need a defender

From the one I call the great pretender.

Or am I the pretender?

Aren't we all great pretenders,

at one time or another?
