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?
