Look me in the eyes and lie
Silver tongue spews grand, gorgeous lies,
Dressing them up to appear
As something they’re not
Spin your web of deceit,
The flimsy ivory strands cascading
And connecting each betrayal together
Break my trust over and over again
Plunge your razor sharp dagger
Into my unsuspecting heart,
Scarlet blood dribbling down
Do it again without a second thought
Look me in the eyes and lie once again
The child you believed to be foolish and naive
Won’t fall for it this time
