Feed me your lies
They taste good on my tongue
Worm your way in
With the tales you’ve spun

Bind me in half-truths
Pull the wool over my eyes
Hide behind your mask
Your handsome disguise

You slink through the darkness
As you search for your prey
Oh why do I stand still,
When I should run away?

I see you now,
See who you really are
I curse myself,
For falling this far

Now faced with this choice
Of believing your lies,
Or of walking away
And severing all ties

My heart, it aches
My illusions I miss
Oh why did it all
Have to come to this?

Eirian,

I have felt this way before.  You brought it back to me, tied in the ribbon-words of poetry.
