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
you are innocent
until proven guilty
until you are
no longer innocent
in other words
i will believe you
until
i can’t believe you
According to you, all that’s missing is a cape.
But your contribution is the bare minimum.
Turmoil abounds, and where are you?
You need a signal in the sky to see what’s
right there in front of you?
Emotional maintenance means nothing to you.
So many opportunities for growth missed or ignored.
My needs are on stand-by, yours apparently met.
And you’re still smiling and laughing while
it’s chilly in here. You never bring a coat.
So why are you acting like you’re a hero?
hurt someone, it’s wrong
not fixing it, even worse
it’s time for some shade
The USA gets let down. Again.
No thorough investigation. Failure at justice.
Women are pissed. We will rise.
You mendacious man!
Habitual disrespect!
I’m done! No more lies!
Your words are lies, man.
You destroyed the sacred trust.
It’s over. It’s done.
