I want what you have
Without knowing the full price
That needs to be paid
Tag deception
Lies
Your eyes tell tales
Of care and warmth
And kindness and love
But stand too close
And your eyes light fires
Of pain and hurt
And deceit and lies
Glossy Veneer
He’s no Romeo
My desires betray
The brutal reality
Of the truth behind
The glossy veneer
I’m torn in two
Wanting, needing
My fantasies to be true
But there is no truth
Only a bitter lie
And a bitter pill
For me to consume
Venom
Your words wrap around my heart
As your promises haunt my mind
Your deceit hangs like smoky air
Polluting my life with poisonous lies
