Love is a Lie ~
i don’t remember how it came to be,
i know, you were an unexpected breeze.
the curtains blew in.
your voice was seductively soft.
your promises seemed to slowly become poetry…
honeyed sugar assaulting my ears.
the moments swiftly grew into hours.
my heart, for years, resisted
being imprisoned in a frozen cage.
i wanted to believe,
that someone would love me.
with words, you cleverly weaved a web…
you were the flame.
i…lonely wanted to only seek your warmth.
without any warning, you transformed into
an uninvited, yet sweet storm.
your touch, etched upon my skin…
now burned for an eternity—
disrupting my once peaceful reverie.
inevitably, you, departed.
silent, without any further verses
sung to me.
{chorus}
love is a lie,
i’ve come to despise.
you’re a lie…
i’ve come to despise…
love is a lie,
still , i cannot deny…
oh, how you’re a lie…
you turned love into a lie.
black tears fall from my tragic eyes, incessantly.
memories of you linger,
ghosts haunting, teasing, dancing with my heart.
{chorus}
love is a lie,
i’ll try to rectify.
you’re a lie,
i’ve come to despise.
love is a lie,
still, i cannot deny…
oh, how you’re a lie,
you turned love into a lie.
i don’t remember how it came to be,
for you didn’t send me an invitation.
your eyes, so shiny, full of resentment ~
yet, finally, we were together.
i was filled with total contentment.
i embraced you,
your arms, felt like zephyr’s loving caress.
you finally settled down, serene rest.
your eyes now closed, i beckoned the raven
to fly towards me.
the raven, inky midnight…
raven’s wings, covering us in a shadowy blanket.
{chorus}
love is a lie,
led to our demise.
you’re a lie,
i’ve come to despise.
love is a lie,
still, i cannot deny…
oh, how you’re a lie…
you turned love into a lie.
i glanced upon your moonlit face,
so lovingly
my lips violated yours.
one last kiss, my love, before…
we enter everlasting bliss.
{bridge}
lovers lay dead, their blood
has long ago run dry.
raven’s wings, covering us in a shadowy blanket.
ashes, earth’s muddied walls, our new home.
no longer, will we ever be apart…
never again, will i be alone.
{chorus}
love is a lie,
i’ve come to despise.
you’re a lie…
i’ve come to despise.
love is a lie,
still, i cannot deny…
oh, how you’re a lie.
love is a lie…
((you’re a lie.))
