To You

Evil is looking you right in the eye, 
dressed in sweetness, knowing its devastating secret.
Its poison lies within the lie.  Waiting for discovery.  Smiling at you.
Patience is your enemy, denial will be your destructor.
Look beyond the surface for what you already know, but willfully ignore.
For you and evil are one, same wanting.
Beware, you will inherit what evil has to teach.  An unwanted ability gained. Lives destroyed.
Happiness has no place in this triangle of self-destruction.
A heart wrenching disease befriends you, a sheep and wolf's game.
Poison entangled it's malicious, web, choking trust, murdering vows.
Blindness encouraging the affair.
Drops of your fear are the prize already won.
Lies come quick and easy, scripted and memorized, 
but apologies burn like swallowing broken pieces of truth,
as the shards cut and tear,
a future bleeds to death.
