You Lied



You lied
I am not the kind given to mindless prattle
Nor am I the kind to be swayed
by the grace of your swaying lips

Ever since I took to the fashion of judging mysteries with the guise of a wolf clan
I have had for myself a vacuum long filled from it's doldrums

I take your words for what they are, words!
with the kindness and calm I can't but disdain
each loose one I sacrifice at the altar of smouldering indifference

For you lied to me,you told me
I had too much to loose

Grand papa says its always better to be left with the "oh wells than the what ifs"

You lied,you said being self-centered is wrong
I am the north star ,the nucleus of this journey breathing life&essence

You lied, you said everything
happens for a reason
Not everything was a
cosmic sign to begin with
You lied ,you always do
