Deceitfully Lived
I married deceit
for a chance
at life
Lift the veil
and close your eyes
to see what's next coming
the next chapter of life
is blinding
and filled with strife
apologize for telling lies
but when you finally
get around
and open your eyes
in turn you will see
that your wedding brought rain
and only ashes remain
what once was in bloom
now in shambles
brings pain
a shell of clarity
is now all that remains
a shell of once was
no clarity shall remain
For all clarity was in lies
but
now
none
remain
