Creature Of Deception

A poem

Your lying lips were always desirable, no matter how gifted 
I miss your hateful bitterness, from which I was slowly lifted 
Your memory lives in me forever, no matter how twisted 
You were always selfish, annoyed; how did I ever miss it? 


I wanted you to be offended by me and my dreams 
You didn't tell me all about you and your schemes 
I will never say your love was magical, surreal or fair 
When I gave you up for everything or nothing, I did not care 


My patience withered away, surrendered by your cold breeze 
Violence came straight from your frozen lips, just like a disease 
You taught me to be stronger, even when I couldn't move 
But you didn't give me love, so now I will always lose 


You were a creature of deception, an unspeakable crime 
You were intolerably charming, a ghost of another time 
This mental cage is binding me to your scars forever 
Now I see your face slowly weakening, severed together 


You were always behind the fine lines of total vanity 
Watching, waiting, I was pulled into your realm of insanity 
You were pompous, arrogance lived in your every bone 
It's why I eventually gave you up, it's why you're now alone 

Walking in your garden of illusions, my desperation cried 
Stumbling on your echoed lies, I swallowed my confused pride 
From within myself came the mercy and love I never received 
Here is where I found you dead, now I am happy and relieved 

Author's Note

All of my poems were written at least 5-10 years ago, so if they're terrible, that's why.
