love is a lie ~

…I don't remember how it came to be…
 
i know, you were an unexpected breeze.
 your voice was seductively soft ~
your promises seemed to slowly become poetry.
honeyed sugar assaulting my ears.
 
The moments swiftly grew into hours.
My heart, for years, resisted
being imprisoned in a frozen cage.
I wanted to believe,
That someone would love me.
 
with words, you cleverly weaved a web
you were the flame.
 
I…
lonely wanted to
only seek your warmth.
without any warning,
you transformed into
an uninvited, yet sweet storm.
 your touch, etched upon my skin…
now burned for an eternity…
 
~ disrupting my once peaceful reverie.
inevitably, you, departed.
silent, without any further verses
sung to me.
 
[Chorus]
Love is a lie
I’ve come to despise
You’re a lie…
I've come to despise
Love is a lie
Still I cannot deny...
Oh how you're a lie…
You turned love into a lie
 
Black tears fall from my
 tragic eyes, incessantly
Memories of you linger,
Ghosts haunting,
teasing, dancing with my heart.
 
*solo*
 
[Chorus]
Love is a lie
I’ll try to rectify
You're a lie
I've come to despise.
 
*solo*
 
Love is a lie
Still I cannot deny...
Oh how you're a lie
You turned love into a lie.
 
I don't remember how it came to be,
For, you didn't send me an invitation.
Your eyes, so shiny, full of resentment ~
Yet finally, we were together
I was filled with total contentment.
 
I embraced you,
Your arms, felt like Zephyr's loving caress.
 You finally settled down, serene rest.
Your eyes now closed, I beckoned the Raven
to fly towards me --
  
The Raven, inky midnight
Raven's wings, covering us in
a shadowy blanket.
 
 [Chorus]
 Love is a lie
Led to our demise
You're a lie
I've come to despise
Love is a lie
Still I cannot deny...
Oh how you're a lie
You turned love into a lie
 
*solo*
 
I glanced upon your moonlit face,
so lovingly
My lips, violated yours
One last kiss, my love, before...
We enter everlasting bliss.
  
[Bridge]
Lovers lay dead, their blood
has long ago run dry
 Raven's wings, covering us
in a shadowy blanket.
 
Ashes, earth's muddied walls,
our new home
No longer, will we ever be apart...
Never again, will I be alone.
 
*solo*
 
[Chorus]
Love is a lie
I've come to despise
You're a lie
I've come to despise
Love is a lie
Still I cannot deny...
Oh how you’re a lie…
love is a lie…                
          
you’re a lie.
