Paranoid, the love ebbs deeper
Trusted, the love ebbs deeper
Cheated, the love ebbs deeper
Paranoid to explicit ends
Patronised, the love ebbs deeper
Anomalized, the love ebbs deeper
Autonomized, the love ebbs deeper
She is paranoid to explicit ends
Prepare yourself for the bitter
termination of deceit
Deception, and the love ebbs deeper
Conception of a trust by truth
Ruthless the contempt
the love ebbs deeper
Content with deceit
the love ebbs deeper
Power is the name of the game
Control his mechanism
Sowing seeds of doubt
with pastures of honesty
The pasture rots as ebbs of deceit
flow gallantly
Heirs and graces couldn’t comprehend
the shame that’s met with a bitter end
Can’t stop, won’t stop can only begin again
The shadows of deceit your contemporary,
your colleague, your peer
She shows respect as the cacophony deepens louder
Hyena a heinous crime
Knowing what you know now
would you repeat the mistake of belonging?
He makes her feel so brand new
she will never walk away
Admitting the truth will leave her stranded in breathlessness
Air seeping into her lungs
just enough to keep her alive
but comatose
catatonic in her existence
She tackles the mundane like life’s dependent
upon her struggle
Paranoia shielded everyday
A padded cell in her mind
takes her struggle as given
Deception believed, the love ebbs deeper
Paranoid intrusion, and the love ebbs deeper
Trust not confusion, the love ebbs deeper
Relinquished ability to survive much longer
and finally the love kills her
Her spirit diminished to a flicker
Flames once vibrant now simmer
The love has ebbed its flow
to levels unknown
Unmanageable her life has become
Consumed by his lies
her life is delusion
She can’t exist
amongst this confusion
Can’t set herself free
while his lies she believes.
