Sleight of Hand
Tricks of the trade
Sleight of hand, he knew her well, A gentle touch, a warm embrace;
Sleight of hand, he touched her face, With seeming love, apparently;
Sleight of mind, he had her fooled, She thought he loved her endlessly;
Sleight of mind, he played a game, Though only he could play for keeps;
Sleight of soul, it was a trick, So cruel in its entirety;
Sleight of soul, released in time, Forever wandering aimlessly.
