Pretty Little Pack Of Lies

rambling... another song

     If I could turn back the pages and read your words over again... I might have seen a different road ahead. Instead of just rolling on around the bend.

     If I had known about tomorrow, I'd have wasted no more time. I'd still cut my wrist and bleed for you, but I wouldn't lose myself in your rhyme.

     I can't just close my eyes and burn it all out of mind. With whispers and kisses you drew me in... Just to leave me broken and blind?

     Hey you... you're such a pretty little pack of lies. I can still taste your breath. All these scars you left... Your face it stains my mind. I'm drowning in the raining of your eyes. Such a fool, swimming in those pools so blue. But my love, I can't deny. Such a pretty little pack of lies. Your whispers sweet. My fall complete. Was there any truth in your eyes?

     So I'm sifting through the pieces. Sweeping off the dust. Brushing back the cobwebs to read the book you beat me with, looking for my trust.

     How did I fall for your deception? Your mirror so old and dusted over I missed your true reflection. Was I such a fool without perception?

     I can't just close my eyes and burn it all out of mind. With whispers and kisses you drew me in... Just to leave me broken and blind?

     Hey you... such a pretty little pack of lies. I can still taste your breath. All these scars you left... Your face it stains my mind. I'm drowning in the raining of your eyes. Such a fool, swimming in those pools so blue. But my love, I can't deny. Such a pretty little pack of lies. Your whispers sweet. My fall complete. Was there any truth in your eyes?

     

Author's Note

It's actually a song. So have at it.

And that is love, so it seems at times...sometimes we accept the falls more than the rises and it stings when we realise after the event just how much we did actually allow...but...that is the sign of a loving heart.

I can hear a nice 12 string acoustic to this :)

B*****s man. I'm sorry kid, but hey good work. See happy doesn't work, I'm happy f**k no one cares if you're happy but if you're sad, "I've been there man". Ha! Not bad kid, you've got a way with words

You were the yang and she was the ying in this relationship. Sometimes the equality of these two opposing forces bleed through their boundaries. It's not any body's fault...it just happens. Perhaps this pain has made you better person because of it?

Like Poppy said....she gave you some powerful inspiration. Good or bad...it is still inspiration.

A better person? I like to think so... And I couldn't agree with you more. I value inspiration from any source. Thank you so much.

Who is this woman? I hope she's out of your life, although she sure did give you fodder for your writings!

[Lucifer Jones]

In most ways yes she is... She still lingers in my writing and music. If you enjoyed the read or felt something because of it then I am the better for her. Thank you for taking the time.

Often it is our most painful experiences that give us the best writing material, and life lessons as well.
