Venomous Truth

Your venom fills my mind.
Propaganda for your sins and crimes
Committed for my one fatal flaw.
A flaw, but the only truth in madness.
I am blinded by the darkness
Underlying your bittersweet words.
And through the darkness, a light,
A venomous light, deceiving my mind.
I am fooled by your smiling facade,
Quick to agree to a lonesome future.
I try to stay in my coffin of lies,
But the truth still haunts my dreams.
The truth still haunts my dreams,
The truth of sins and crimes committed,
For my flaw, and the flaw if all men.
This deadly flaw hidden behind beauty,
This most valued flaw, love.
