Your tears were waterfalls straight from the soul,
If I caught them all, would that make you whole?
No point answering these questions of mine,
With or without me you always did fine.
At least that's what you kept saying to me,
My ears sought refuge and you lied sweetly.
When the veil lifted, I found that abyss,
You blocked my vision with a poisoned kiss.
Comfortable illusions like worn denim,
Yet they linger like bitter sweet venom.
Begging for help while eating at my heart,
The toxin wore off, your web came apart.
It seems that didn't really matter though,
Parading the rest of your prey for show.
Is that decay and bullshit I'm smelling,
Beneath forgeries of lives you're selling?
All I wanted from you was something real,
But you never meant to honor that deal.
