Honesty??!

Honesty??
You don't know the meaning of that word.
You said you wanted the full truth from me?
You have no idea what you're asking for.

The last time an honest word passed your lips you were 4 years old
singing made up songs to your mom from across the house in an attempt to avoid sleep.
Or maybe we have to go back even further
Back to when you first started talking at 18 months old.
Who knows- not me that's for sure.
It seems the trail of lies will never end
I'm following it back, back to the first moment we met.

You sicken me.
Your lies are never ending
Making me question every word you say
Every.
Single.
Word.

You ask too much
A liar...
Ludicrously asking for full honesty.
How ironic.

Is this what you wanted?
Is this the honesty you so desire?
I'm more than happy to please you
See when you are happy
So am I.

It's one of those exasperating things about us
We seem to share the same emotions
The same brain even at times.
There's no escaping you
We're forever linked.

I'm forever doomed to be by your side-
To be your shadow
The last shred of reality keeping you in check.
The cricket on your shoulder forced to watch helplessly as your nose grows
Lie
By
Lie

At times my sanity is questioned for staying but they don't understand
I don't have a choice.
I've been here since the beginning
and I must stay til the end.

You see...
No matter how hard I try to escape you
We are one and the same
Your lies are mine
And mine are yours
My voice joins in as lies spill
from lips stained with the blood of friends and family
Who've been stabbed in the back.
Blindsided by the lies they never expected the innocent to spread.

Side by side we stand
Surveying the desolation and destruction
Shamelessly we stare
As mayhem surrounds us
Raging rampant in the lives of those closest to us
Is there hope for them....for us?

Is a life of solitude what is best?
Everyone has been lied to.
You have lied to me and I have lied to you
Deceiving ourselves into believing we are innocent of many wrongs

Will you finally let go of the smoking gun and stop this madness
Once and for all?
Or will you continue to senselessly spread these lies
Blackening our heart with the blood of the masses
Til there's no one left to murder with the wickedly sharp blades
held in check behind these lips poised to kill at a moment's notice.
