Illusions 

A stabbing echo spears not my heart
with daggered words
from ignorant mouths,
Yet wounds so hidden
Still sting my mind.
A raging fire melts not the ice
around my soul
Yet slowly departing
is the beauty that once lingered
with a delicate fragrance...
Replaced is the fantasy with a treacherous beast..
so ugly
those lips new seem
which planted the seeds 
of my deception
