Sweet Deception

Sweet Deception
Oh cruel, cruel cruelest comfort.
I have known the first
And I have known the last
Of your kind.
Sweet Deception
My one consolation
I will find my rest in the quietest of lies.
Sweet Deception
Of best intentions
Are you a keeper of names? A bearer of sins?
Do you hide yourself in bones and skin?
Oh sweet deception!
Sweet deception
Most careless of loves
Shall I call your name
Or learn to be
Alone?
