He didn’t change
She fell in love
With the him he wanted her to see
To steal
What she wouldn’t give an imposter
Unmasked—
Her love knows not this man she sees

After-word: I wrote this piece long before masking became part of global health guidelines. Today we mask-up to protect our immune systems from an unseen predator—the novel corona virus. So for that reason, follow the golden rule of masking: mask-up for others as you’d have them mask-up for you.

However, when I wrote this piece it was based on reflecting on deception masked as truth and when unmasked the toll it takes on the heart-system.
