You’re a liar!

With your stories –

You don’t know,

what the truth is.

 

Half told truths,

little white lies,

you’ve added the spin,

to your fantasies.

 

It’s had to keep up,

as you chatter away,

I don’t believe

a word you say.

 

Romanticise.

That’s what they say,

for the lies you tell,

and how you behave.

 

You don’t see the damage,

left in your wake,

destroying lives,

the tongue of a snake.

 

Now listen to me!

and there’s the rub,

there’s nothing romantic,

in what you’ve become.
