A smile of an angel

Eyes of innocence

Hands so trusting

Words that flowed like honey

Ears that craved for my attention

How could I have been so blind?

How could I have been so shallow?

To leave my self open

And allow your lies to overshadow

Reality.

Inception

Truth is, I was living a dream

Making your lies sound peaceful and

Serene.

Once the truth was recognized

I witnessed those fiery deceitful eyes

I wish there was a way I could have realized them from the beginning

Deception

You led me down a staircase of lies

To the basement

And you told me to lay there 

Adjacent

But the next thing I knew I was being replaced

And you had no clue what you meant to me

Travesty

Is what I feel

Deception

A wolf in sheep's clothing

An honest lie

A male lady bug

The sweetest stench

A Paradox

Deceitful deception

Now Your hands are no good

Your words are silent whispers

Your smile is a facade

Deception

Allowing my heart to wish for love no longer

"An honest lie
A male lady bug"
That line was fire like I was feeling it when you first started by spelling the word deception. Last night I was at a poetry open mic and had a great time, this is the kind of poem that can be performed on stage. It has great sound techniques and repetition. Good stuff
