"The Liar – Inspired by a song of the same name by Glenn Hughes." The Poet Verse1: I see the evil in your eyes, Only now I begin to realize. The faith I had in you was false. You took me on a deceitful mocking waltz. As in love as I once was. Stunned by your beauty just because, I didn’t see through your evil lies. You have the ability to mesmerize. Chorus: I should have known. You’ve a heart of stone. Signs were there. Leading to despair. You didn’t care. Now you want me, I’m not your destiny. You’re headed for a red-hot pyre You’re the one they know is the liar. Verse 2: Evenings while you lay awake. No sleep will your evil mind take. Actively planning ways to hurt. Plotting to push innocence into the dirt. You still have a hold on me. But I have to escape your tyranny. I’m taking everything I own. Making sure I let it be known. Chorus: Verse3: Yes I am taking my love as well. Leaving you to your date with hell. You’re the one that’s doing all the lying. Nothing will bring me back not even your crying. I won’t believe your alibies. All just a pact - more of your lies. I won’t even be able to call you a friend. I should have listened to warnings. This is the end.

What a strong and emotional poem. My wife left me and I wonder if she had the same sentiments. I miss her dearly. We can only ask for forgiveness and do our best to live a good life. Beautiful poetry. Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks sweet friend, don't worry about the post. I couldn't count the number of times I have written a comment and left the page without validating it. Wen

Wow. You did a great job with your song. I hope to find some of this artist's songs I am familiar with. It's on my to -do list. Thanks for your several sweet comments to my recent poems

Thanks Andrea. I was a great fan of Deep Purple in the day. I still have some 55 year old vinyl of theirs. The Book of Taliesyn, Deep Purple and Shades of Deep Purple. My boyfriend (Now my husband) had an 8 track player in his car that made me a fan, so each payday I would by an album so I could listen at home. I did the same with Hendrix and Black Sabbath, Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin and many more. While others were spending money on clothes I was investing in good music.
