Ode to a Liar

Ah my love, each day I find myself more in love with the devil

Every day you think I am unaware of what you were doing behind my back…

Your soul is strong enough to melt iron and eclipse the sun - in an ironic way

It amazes me that you don’t drown in your own lies

Though I still love you, I am irresistibly drawn to the devil

He is more faithful, more tender, with a heart of warmth

You, with a heart turned to coal, will never find another to hold it tight and turn it into a diamond

And it is sad you shaped my heart first as an aquamarine, but then as a ruby

I wonder, do your eyes see the pain when they meet my tearful gaze?

Do you feel any regret for what you’ve done?

Your cruelty and indifference won’t save you when you fall into a pit one day

Yet, I will still be the one to lower the rope into your endless void

I break more and more as I think about our past

But mostly, I blame myself for being so foolish

I smile as I watch you parade around, hoping to find someone to end your endless desires and fiery, bawdy hunger

Having your own thoughts and opinions will move you forward in life

I know your blind obedience to others drove you away from me

Hiding me from those who share your bed was pathetic

You’re too weak to control your desires, and there are many words for your kind of people

While I live a grand love with the devil, you will be alone in your own universe

You may keep deceiving yourself, but you know you’re trapped

Whatever dark nightmares haunt you, I don’t care

Count them as the cost of my sleepless nights, of every sleep that ended in tears

I beg you, don’t lie to me anymore…

Last time, it cost me a burst tire and a thousand cash to get a new one.
