Questions mark
every turn
Encrypting
answers I’ll never learn
You’ve
sealed your lips and tossed the key
Ensuring the
fate of this mystery
No facts to
reason, only suspicion and surmise
Not even the
satisfaction of searching your eyes
Love or
lust, or merely illusion?
I’m left
only with these two conclusions:
“Cruel
Truth” or “Beautiful Denial?”
I drank the
poison of the latter vial
Its pleasure
was smooth, and went down sweet
Empowering
promises, and drowning deceit
Foregoing
all, overcoming resistance
Withstanding
time, surpassing the distance
Trust
unbroken, and lies untold
Unprecedented
Love, none other so bold
For a moment
the tonic quenched my thirst
Until my
heart was tempted by the call of the first
With hunger
and greed, I swallowed it down
And in the
bitterness the truth was found
A thief and
a liar with a plot and a ploy
A
silver-tongued serpent made me his toy
Falsified
Love, and justified pain
A means to
your end, I’ll always remain
Debasing history,
and forsaking the hallowed
I wasn’t the
first to swing from your gallows
This
perjury’s depth only time will reveal
But for now
the fate of old friends has been sealed
