The Deceiver

He reaches out and grasps your hand as only a true friend can, he pulls you close, to calm your fears and then, a whisper in your ear My friend, he breathes, I'll keep your cold hand warm, trust me friend and I'll keep you safe from harm if you will listen just to me, and only me, I promise, friend I'll help to set you free Let me in and learn to trust, you'll not regret it, if you just let me in and then pay heed to what I say, friend hear my words but just ignore my deeds My words are what you need to hear my friend, there's naught for you to fear, I've got your back, I am your man, for you, my friend, I have a plan I only want what's best for you, my friend, I'm the only one that's true my friend I'll keep your secrets locked away I'll always keep you from harm's way my friend, this is your lucky day it's true The others are deceitful, friend, your heart means nothing in the end, they care less for you than I, my friend, for you, I'd gladly die Can you let me in now friend? It's cold out here, and you don't want to spend another night alone, my friend as it gets closer to the end My friend, if you could only open up, the door and then your heart to me, you'd see, I promise it will be a revelation just to you, from me The secret, friend I have for you, no more guessing if it's true for soon, you'll know what I know too, my friend I pledge to share with you No lie
