Beautiful Liar

You lead me on
seeing my life was incomplete
whispering those promises
dripping honey sweet...

Now I am to understand
we are to be just friends
alone in my house of sand
contemplating inevitable end...

Such a comfortable liar
weaver of broken dreams
fantasier magical bean buyer
a dark siren mystifier...

Falling I must confess
I won't buy them anymore
demigoddess in little black dress
bedroom white liar galore...

I lived your beautiful lie
being the hoper and the prayer
looking for rainbow in our sky
and you the proclaimed soothsayer...

But I became ensnared
in my self created fire
by such a beautiful liar
 victim of my own desire..

Ken, this is so beautiful.... I once meet a guy, who fits this description, played with my heart and friendship. The moment I saw something was wrong with him, I had to stay away from him. Glad I did, cause he was fake as fake can be. He revealed his true colors, the next day. Sadly, he thought he had a chance with me... A great poem.... Love it so much.... Linda
