Often Too Good To Be True

False flattery they use as bait
Mind games is their pastime
Beware of the tempting tongue
When they spin you a line

While using their false flattery
Their make believe will ensue
Yet ones with all the sweet talk
Are often too good to be true

They woo you and pursue you
While stroking their own ego
Seeking their prey far and wide
It will be the same scenario

Never swallow their sweet talk
Flattery will be riddled in lies
You will be emotionally scarred
By those thieves in disguise

Yes indeed Hope your words ring out so true.
Behind pretty eyes there is a life time of lies. don't be tempted by ones strive to have you now. an honest love will wait for you.

So true...people who are all words and no follow through can be so hurtful.

Nice twist, although I haven't met you, so we'll take that as assumed.

They woo you and pursue you
While stroking their own ego

And in their own dreams

Fall lover to gravity
