LUST AND LIES

 

Through thick and thin, over life's hills and vales

Through health and malady, through joy and grief

To love and cherish,  for as long as forever will last

We shall be together, till death do us apart

 

Simply words spoken at someone's behest

No lie detector, no acid test

Smile for the camera, pop goes the flash

A new life begun, is the old laid to rest?

 

Curtains drawn, lights are dimmed

Arching backs, entwined limbs, beads of sweat

Eyes shut tight, quivering lips gasping for breath

Sudden pulsating rush of ecstasy

 

Love abandoned, vows forgotten

Untruths and betrayal become the rule

Of a soul and mind that are scorched forever

By red hot flames of amoral passion

 

"Believed in faith and trusted in love"

Words on the tombstone of a heart that died

On the altar of lust and lies
