Mentirosa

Glances exchanged across the room,
Fanning the flame of mystery.
Your eyes and lips made promises of tomorrow…
Promises never meant for me.

A whisper in the dark that hovered –
That whisper that warmed my soul –
A whisper of deceit was all it was,
One that carried a heavy toll

In the back of my mind, I’m thinking
This isn’t happening, this can’t be right
But I kept my mouth shut,
Hoping and praying night after night

Alone in a fragment of nothingness
Destroyed by the power of your lies
A fear beyond the possibility of comfort
Unmasks the truth behind your eyes

Took me into your arms with that caress –
Surrounded me in the warmth of your eyes.
Twisted every word until I was possessed
Possessed by the poison of your lies.

Now you’re walking out that door,
Your new lover on your arm,
And I’m left with the pieces of our life –
Your lying did nothing but harm.

In the back of my mind, I’m thinking
This isn’t happening, this can’t be right
But I kept my mouth shut,
Hoping and praying night after night

Alone in a fragment of nothingness
Destroyed by the power of your lies
A fear beyond the possibility of comfort
Unmasks the truth behind your eyes
