Life’s con

My heart holds still, shake by the horrors of life.
Conned into thinking you were fair.
Deceived by the images of your beauty.
Lost in the thrill you bring.
Forgetting the many things you failed to reveal.

You are as deceitful and cunning as the serpent in the garden.
Forsake me when it’s convenient.
Refusing me hope when all I needed was love.
Your passion will always be in your reflection and never in the essence of who I am.

My heart stands still, dropping in frequent disappointments.
Making excuses for your willful ignorance.
The color of your face leaves me TRAPPED.
Forgetting you are selfish and planning only to destroy me.

Life stands still, trapped in limbo of lost love.
Watching you take advantage of who I am.
Forsake my love, making me regret letting you in my life.
Let me go! Release me from your embrace. No more deceit, no promises or trap of your embrace.

The beauty you promise was only a lie to keep me complacent in your love.
Let me go! Release me from your embrace.
Watching over the colors of my whole life.
Forsake me as the wind blows each way.
I thought were something special but all you are, is a fart in the wind.

So release me from your embrace. Never again will I let you in my heart.
Release from the trap of your love. It’s only poisoning who I am.
When I close my eyes, I am lost in your embrace.
I want to be far from you. Never again will I care.
Life has been deceitful and lured me in a trap.
