Literary (Submission): Perilous Beauty

She loved to deceive

With colors that she knew

Did not belong to her -

He chose to believe

In her fraudulent hues,
Conceited as they were


She hid all her flaws
Behind masks of splendor,
Not a single blemish in sight

He saw past it all

And to her, he surrendered
Not knowing wrong from right


She wasn’t perfect
And that, she despised
So much that she altered herself
He was proud to accept
Her mistakes, which he swore

Were never even there


She was a trap
A perilous beauty -

A spectrum of dangerous shades

But he was sure that
In his world, she would be
A color that would never fade
