Choking on deceit

Choking I am,

On the air of deceit,

In the water of lies,

That which I thought was mine,

Was never really alive.


That heart in you,

Which I thought pumped for me,

Did never actually survive.


Survive the lustful chase of another,

It never really knew,

Where it's loyalty lies.


The promises I thought were true,

Were nothing but lies,

You told to me

And yourself.
