Quatern with first line dictated as "The truth stood downcast in the lie".
Written about a person who fell in love with the charm of a sociopath
The truth stood downcast in the lie, A covered up sorrowful sigh, Let out by a stranger who smiled, When noticing feathers all riled; With my shields let down she knew why, The truth stood downcast in the lie, And then she rehearsed ev’ry word, To sharpen her tongue twisting sword; “I love you with all of my heart” She said with finality’s start, The truth stood downcast in the lie, My tears welling up so to cry; For lies told by demons at first, Shall always make tender hearts burst, Her victim now, I wish to die, The truth stood downcast in the lie.
