And then watch what they do!
your words are lies, man
you destroyed the sacred trust
it’s over, it’s done

We Can Rebuild
vanity led
gross disfigurement
greedy doctors
botched bodies
eager saviors
healing wounds
repairing harm
restoring normalcy
grateful patients
regretting decisions
blame themselves
screw vanity
Mendacious
words to protect misdeeds
flicker off his lips easily
his assumptions of naivete
bolster the deception
built-up scenarios layered
completing the deception
the cunningness of the ruse
further widens the divide
of love’s innocence
ultimately breaking a heart
then moving on
to the next vulnerable target
with no conscience
to speak of
some will always be lying snakes
Chronic Deceit
You mendacious man!
Habitual disrespect!
I’m done! No more lies!
