Masked Depravity
You played my heart like a violin
’I love you’s floating in rivers of fire
sliding gilded words on slick tongue
straight and tall in gimmicks and lies
pretending to be what you’re not.
You played my heart like a violin
in twisted looks of empty promises
serpent’s tongue flicking in and out
offering platter of charmed hypocrisy
hanging my love on line to dry
You played my heart like a violin
as I wrote your name on my wall
only a whisper of my song, lingering
echoing in your hostile wind
your inner tiger prowling, destroying
You played my heart like a violin
leaving me with sensation of falling
down to depths of your dark pit
please pack up your eclipse
leaving extra space in my head.
