Deluding Masks

Liar... Liar... Liar...

Deluding Masks

Liar...

He caught me off guard

He ensnared me with his words

Confessed his love for me

Liar...

He held me tight

Spoke caring words of love

I felt his warmth and kindness

Liar...

I opened up to him

Welcomed him

Always too shy to reply

When he said "I love you"

Liar...

Once he was close enough

He ripped my heart out

Throwing it to the ground

It shattered like glass

Upon the hard wooden floor

Liar...

He told me he didn't want me

Told me the love wasn't there

Had it all been a lie?

Liar...

My closest friend

She wrapped me in the warmth of her heart

I gathered my heart shards

Gluing them together

Slowly, one by one

Liar...

My tears fell

Down my pink cheeks

My heart slowly healing

She smiled kindly

Comforted me in my time of need

Liar...

My back is stabbed

By my closest friend

She runs to him

How many has he deceived?

Liar...

My heart

Once again is shattered

The pain is unbearable

This secret is mine

To keep and to tell

Liar...

We are all in a grand play

Wearing our fake feelings

Like masks in our performance

Some are true and kind

Others deceive and lie

Liar...

How many of you

Wear lying masks

Deluding me from your true face?

Liar...

Who can I trust?

Who will deceive me?

Who will hurt me?

Who will cherish me?

Liar...

So many faces

So many masks

They smile at me

Which ones are fake?

Liar...

Who wears the mask?

The mask of deception?

Who is the liar?

Is it you?
