#deceiving
Herself: Hollow Eyes dim, no smile Reflection unchanged, though spirit taken away Little to no words But thoughts, thoughts race, tears flow, this isn't a place to stay, time to go. To others: Full Eyes bright, wide smile Reflection unchanged, happy spirit Words a plenty But thoughts, thoughts race, but with them, tears don't flow. This still isn't a place to stay, time to go. Final move: Empty Eyes dim, but this time a smile Reflection unchanged, but an excited spirit Words written, the "I love yous" flow Thoughts? None. A sense of calm. This isn't a place to stay, now it really is time to go. And she was gone. Free. Dead or alive? You decide.

Its time to go.
anxiety attack sweat down my back sleepless nights and walking nightmares I am being followed everywhere, my own shadows are ahead of me they lead the way, and have me doubt each step, each word, each thought they crawl from underneath my skin they mock, they push, they scream “not good enough “ -again, they bluff

not good enough
The sea is full of secrets; undiscovered lies and deceiving waves-- with an odd lay. Like a fathomless man which conceals the most heart-rending tales And only a few  could sense the depth it owns. A great consolation--it may seem. But do not let it's allurement outwit you.

An Oceanic Soul
You can have everything and still want more You can be a ****** and be called a ***** You can win the battle but lose the war Forgetting what you were fighting for You can receive praise but still want first place You can have the present moment and want yesterday You can go to church to lose your faith Because the God of love created people who hate You can have everything and still want more You can do evil and be adored You can lose the battle and win the war Knowing what you were fighting for

Looks Can Be Deceiving
Tame thy wicked heart or be tamed by it! The very reason for man's greatest fall. The sweetest nectar that one would submit, Savoring the sour sense of a sad squall. Thy heart is within the depths of one's chest, Set in a cage of bones where it resides. T'is purposely confined without a jest, In order for man to solely decide. But it's whistling whisper is whimsical, Using sweet temptation as its lure. T'is both enticing but satirical, Deceiving man's mind, so bold and so pure. Oh heart, the one man should greatly subdue, But the fruit is what one wants to pursue.

Tame Thy Wicked Heart or Be Tamed by It!
He looks decieving I didn't saw that coming He looked at me Wearing a high class outfit He's too naive Have a self-esteem But it's just a little bit showy So that he'll be recognized and praised Jesters are in a crowd Clowns are spreading all around Spontaneously making crimes Inside the party of royalties He came to me Convinced me to be like him To be a partner of him But do I really like to be like him? If you want me to be a villain Well, sorry dear I'm worried about me Being exposed in public

To think.. I cannot say anything. After all, I lying to my self. This feeling is.. Yeah.. No one know what I feel. No one ever understand me. My fears. My tears. Is everything no one can ever understand. The reason why my fears is appeared is unknow. The reason my tears drop is unknow too. Lets just DIE. When I die, no one ever care. I should tell them that I will die. Die from running out of tears. Open a new book and start a new story. If there is no happy ending, let's write it again.

Fraud won't save you.
Your mouth must be just another ******* Because all I hear is **** coming out of it! People like you like to **** in the wind, But get upset when your clothes get wet! You have come to reap what we've sown! Typical of you to take what others have grown! The people you stand with mean nothing to you, Just something for you to sink your teeth into! You blood ******* parasitic vampire! You're a disease! A growth! A cancer! But you can't help it, It is in your nature! Mindkiller! Deceiver! Vampire! It is in your nature!

The concept of being deceivingly perfect. For you were the someone who I wanted to stay. I‘d constantly remind myself not to expect cause you were a race car in a speeding highway. I thought that I’d actually be getting somewhere. We were going in full speed but never stopping. With the familiar cool breeze running through my hair, You were just speeding past while I was still walking.

What were we? A huge mess tied in a bow? But I loved you so much it hurt When I had to let you go.

Love like Wild Horses
I looked into your eyes, Hoping these to be true, What I didn't see were lies. I dreamt about you, please, Holy Love of mine were you, Who new loves you better than me? Innocent they look as pure as ice, Hopping without any rue, When did I not see the lies? I hoped for it to sustain long, Hell, I didn't know they'd rust, Where should I sing my swansong? I trusted your romantic promise, How you broke my trust, Why these deceiving eyes? I now suspect that you lie, Hey, you can't cheat on me, Whom new did you learn to love?

Your Deceiving Eyes
I feel so nauseated I hate the smell that consumes me, but I yearn to breathe I feel trapped and sick when thinking about them My desire for happiness is so strong, my weakness is used against me I feel poisoned, heart against mind I'll die of a broken heart

You'll be okay, Take my hand and follow me into the water Swim with me into the depths Feel your body become the waves Pretend to be the light that Shimmers from above Everything will be alright Until you forget how to breathe Suffocate and drown - SkullsNBones

When she spoke I watched her eyes Her lips expounded love But her eyes revealed disappointment I resented her more With every kind remark Softly spoken Behind a deceiving smile

Deceiving Smile
she walked and wailed for miles, she screamed for help, but no one seems to be around. what did she do wrong, she is always nice, always wanted to make them happy but it seems like nothing's being reciprocated. the clouds above her head circles around,and the crows gawk at her. what is wrong, no, what did she do wrong.

a story about how it's all her fault
Hidden in the ultraviolet, Unseen by most yet to be forgotten by both heaven and hell, Memories from the futures dawn, luxury of darkness, Spin the wool and weave the fate, this world end's by my own hand, Break loose of the lies and get lost within legendary illusions A world so dark, the stars so blind an alluring form refuses to fall, Rise, from the fire hell can't hold and is afraid of, Spread the wings and soar beyond the scene, the art of demonicy The holiest war is waged of what our hearts are made, Do you nest in what you feel or have felt in this realm of devilry ? After the mirror shows you all the truths you desire, Deceived by your eyes, who do you want to trust ? The last judgement ends with a long journey, The nights luxury relies within my own hand, take it! And maybe then, I will lead you to the light your heart cries out for. After all, the love for it is for all to engage in. ~ Umi

The Devils World
Our book of love is written in braille I can read into our love story But I am too scared to open my eyes to see it Because one can daydream a story up in a minute But we never want to face and see the reality of what it will be We all want to look into that persons best attributes But looks can be deceiving So go with what you know And stick to the story that is slowing being written Because skipping a chapter will only leave the reader lost And once lost it will be hard to be found again

Spawning Promises
Wish i could find the words without saying another bad word to explain all the voices that my soul and brain have heard some are a lie that caused me to cry dealing with my problems, oh i sigh. Built my walls too high, for no one can enter that even i can’t reach in and fly in my main center dealing with my demons, either if i am awake or dreamin’ i shouldn’t have believe them for they were very deceivin’ people think i’m flying through my life without feeling dying they were all wrong for i have been trying i see mirror here, mirror there, which one can i look at and stare they’ve been my enemy lately, that i can’t love myself completely i look at her, and it’s such a blur i know it’s just a reflection but my mind sees all imperfection. compliments of perfection doesn’t help me find my direction. in my eyes i see my true complexion but i choose to believe my beauty is base on perception. i still have to learn that i am worth every living cell on this earth that outside appearance doesn’t matter but what’s inside is so much better.

internal confliction
Loudly and constantly it rings, Drumming through my ears, Holding me by the throat, Slashing through my tears, Morning it awakes me, yet Night introduces its death, Waking me up is its job, Nothing holds its wrath. Conscience, it always leads me, Never lets me go, Tells me all their stories, And brings me silver and gold. When I am ill, it cures me, Stating my medicine and time, Bugs me every morning, Sour like a lime. My heart is the biggest reminder, Yet it cheats and lies and steals, It goes away and comes back here, In pieces, never still. My heart it keeps on saying, On and on and on, That somethings are just not worth it, Not worth for me to hang on.

Reminders
I'll deceive you with a smile, I'll make you stay a while. With a superficial charm, That can bring mighty harm. You've only reached the surface, My remains remain a maze. Am I too dark for you? A simple face, hypnotic gaze. With twinkles in my eyes, I wear "Innocence" as a disguise, Secretly bitter, better yet sweet, master manipulator to my simple conceit.
