LIES ON THE LIPS OF MEN

"Keep me on the side," they plead Wrapping truth to mislead. Beating around, their essence hidden Their desires, they cruelly smitten. "It's not what you think," they whisper As the broken trust they strive to foster. But trust betrayed is hearts dismayed The path to true love, they've strayed. "I chose the wrong one," they lament Trying to catch you, their intent bent. Playing games with your fragile mind Leaving wounds with cure hard to find. "I love you," they declare Yet moments ago, unaware. Is it your soul they truly crave Or merely the image they engrave?
