Seductive voice,Turn out to be
A raucous unpleasant whisper
Curt, almost nasty
And slipped away, From questions with
A litany of learnt and inane words

Be that as it may, I still had the thorn
Of the truth stuck, on my side
I’ve found your words, Hidden in your eyes
I’ve found your voice
In your crystal clear glance

As gelid as sharp
Your hate, your pain
Hidden in your eyes, I’ve seen your lies

I’ve seen your truth
Your hate, your pain
I’ve seen your lies
Your secret place where you feel safe

I overlooked
Your better skill
What you have learned about
The subtleties of the Perfect Lie

There’s no place crueler than be around you
You are the perfect lie
