Lies



You have taught me how to lie
Which was soothing for your eye
As you ears popped with excitement
My ears only complied with
 
My trust was tested like a fool
More than once I was deceived by you
Believing all your little lies and broken lust
Ohh how cruel of you to break the trust
 
The promising faithful lies
Disguising to hurt my soul and tries
The right to speak the truth and no lie
I became angry with you and now I cry
 
Now my trust has become expired
Disrespecting the once that gave me fire
Burning brighter to break the ice,
But it was just me burning my disguise
 
Your ice was just unbreakable
Made me bleed assailable
Making my skin available
For the ice blade to cut me through
Just so I could remember you
