Deceptive Heart
Dark smiles
Convey your wiles,
As in a fevers pitch you burn.
Chastising many who are unlike thee
and defiling those who attempt of you to spurn.
For your words spew forth from a deceitful heart,
sugarcoating your deadly venom from the very start.
Many have you in your traitor's life
so shamefully deceived.
For never once did a tender thought
your wicked mind achieve.
So tread with care my true friends
And truly most truly beware,
For when you take company with the devils wind,
You shall discover a darkness too black to bare.
Alas though,
your shame has no name,
for you with your haughty flair
Will meet up with destiny,
And he will not care.
For in the blackness of night,
Deceptive hearts all look the same.
