Blissfully unaware that sweet nectar never was
So many times have I looked and never seen the real you
Demon masked by the face of an innocent

Trust now broken, burns in the fire
Friendship raised to ashes where once was fertile ground
Remove the cloak, its purpose lost, exposed your naked soul
Words once held meaningful, now mock the sickened mind

Scars of battle I will carry to the end
Wounds to be healed by the slow tick of time
The ground I gave you freely I move to reclaim
Be gone from the realm of present thoughts, I will lock you in the past

For those of you who follow, led blindly by the hand
To linger here is folly, heed these warning signs
Pause for more than moments on ground that will deceive
And slowly sink until you choke, within the swamp of lies

Wise and wonderful words. It is most difficult for people to be truthful...WHY? Truth is earning respect, chancing to trust, risking our inner feelings and desires...why can't we share our truth????I really haven't found the answer to that one. Are they really afraid of disappointing us that much???Great piece and a good Question!

I'm glad to hear you have left
this person behind. I have left
a few liars myself and am much
better off because I left. I really
enjoyed this poem and hope you
find many who will serve as true
friends to you. Good luck , Truly ,
Doug

Very intellectually presented with a gentle flow of words.
"Trust now broken, burns in the fire
Friendship raised to ashes where once was fertile ground
Remove the cloak, its purpose lost, exposed your naked soul
Words once held meaningful, now mock the sickened mind"
very meaningful verses Indeed.
