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..
