The Shade

I don’t really know you… it’s probably not wise

Yet you act like we’re the best of friends

So I walk with you, with open but unseeing eyes

Questioning, always, what’s real and what’s pretend.

 

You came to me to seek my trust

YetI was still in the naivete of youth

You brought your smiles, your lies, your lusts

And gradually you rewrote the truth

 

Every lie you sold, I bought

You spoke wild tales with a solemn face

And even after how much we fought

You lie again with amazing grace.

 

You vanish without a word or goodbye

Once you have that which you’ve sought

I’m left with only a web of lies
