When the Heart Lies

When the heart lies, 

Tears emerged and stood in the eyes.

Emotions built in the heart

Falling in love seems dangerous

Smiles disappeared and odd cry dwells.

The blood runs dry in the veins, 

And truth a hundred miles away from the heart.

 

Love taste sour as hatred emerged, 

Bitterness of the heart grows more wings, very dangerous and visible.

Tossing and tossing things around in the heart.

Body cells shattered away in horror

When the lies

 A blemish is left within the heart

Howling to be healed with a prince kiss.

 

Unknown scars of yesterday

Remained visible on the sword

Kept in the scabbard.

Scab drawn within, intensively, 

And memories of good days hung high upon mountain

Exchange of wind blows set in.

When the heart lies, the heart becomes shrank and softer.

As trust escape through the door and anger hasten in.

 

Separated world and twisted fate

Twisted fate such as twist

Of each married man as one heart becomes two.

Loneliness entered as fondness hasten away

Darkness of the night becomes visible to the eyes

Back to back on the bed, 

Dinning before the other if the appetites were there

When the heart lies, the iron ring would be thrust aside and trampled upon.

 

World apart, 

Two together becomes apart.

Marriage is not a bed of roses neither relationship a sweet songs.

Mother warned you to be faithful

Remembering the oats on the altar

 White gown wore with veil now turns black and red.

Lying dismantled the holy matrimony.

Oh! The serpent at it again, 

The old deceiver of the world

Here lie our first parents whom you deceived

Of which use is your power when you make us lie? 

 

When the heart lies, 

It brings Bruises on the face

Infidelity brought the pains

Thousand warning unheard

Waite for the miserable life in future

When you have too many mouth to feed.

Take care humble heart, take care emotions

Take care father heart, least you perish in misery.
