1000 Truths
Sunlight opened up my eyes to see through this false disguise.
“A ruse is no excuse for the abuse of the truth,”
He yells,
She cries.
Always lies, too dedicated to be complicated,
Always aggravated never titillated,
Who could ever understand?
Take a glance into the past
And see the lives you’ve changed,
See the lives you’ve rearranged and played like its some game.
A simple word or two won’t hurt
Don’t bother play it safe,
Because in the end the one who wins will tell us who to blame.
But it isn’t you now is it?
So full of your deceit,
You get away scott free
Still spreading lies and disbelief.
An evil smirk, a stifled laugh
The truth is elusive; you cannot find its path
But the moments I have known it, console is not mine, for in the unforgiving truth, pain is all
you’ll find.
