Sugar-Coated Lies

I saw the world different today as I looked through your eyes.
How differently we perceive things as you sugar-coat your lies.

Your vision was filled with adventure as that's how you like to roll.
Never stopping to consider about the hearts that you stole.

You see women as an object and you charm them to the core.
Knowing all too well your intentions leave alot to answer for!

But just remember one thing, one day you'll be old and alone.
And all the hearts you burnt will have found a love thats grown.

Your looks will have faded and your charm has worn away.
And who wants a lonely old man who's never one to stay?

You've heard the word companion and I'm sure you know the depth.
That friendship has certain  boundaries and is more than just Sex.

Honesty and loyalty are qualities to admire.
You'll always be remembered as unloyal and a liar.

I know I'm far from perfect and I have my faults too.
But I'll never be branded a liar and I'm loyal, unlike you!

I did like this poem and I agree. A liar will dig a bed of loneliness. Lies lead to more lies. One day the liar won't know the truth from a lie. Strong and worthwhile words and thoughts shared Derani.
