False Love

stars twinkle down at me from the heavens
as I lay by his side on the grass
time passes by like flitting clouds
when they sail in the sky, floating past
the night is like a blanket
of blackness, warm and sweet;
I see him smiling down at me
my breath catches as our eyes meet
my heart pounds faster
could this be love?
we kiss in the darkness
and the night sings above
in response to our bliss
and I give him his desire
this is for life, this is forever
love in my heart is like a warm fire
and I close my eyes for a moment
to think of how things will be
but to my surprise, when I look for my love
he has run far away and left me
I would have given him anything
had he asked, even heaven above
yet I find myself left alone in the ashes
of the dying fire of a false love
