A lie
She walks with a box in the night
A lie
Contains a potion to make her feel just right
A lie
She tells when she says she was dreaming
A lie
She sells when she says she was sleeping
A lie
She went out to seek another
A lie
She thought I would slumber
A lie
Contained within the sheets of misfortune
A lie
She took his heat for fortune
A lie
Love for me, never true
A lie
She walks as if she is rue
A lie
See this was her plan all along
A lie
She sings the same tune, the same song
A lie
She thought I didn’t know
A lie
You can’t hide truth from the one who knows
A lie
They say they come to rob and cheat
A lie
They say we should stay up, on our feet
A lie
A fool never was I
A lie
I knew this filth was a fly
A lie
A fly buzzing around my being
A lie
Thinking I wasn’t seeing
The truth
Of all that she was doing
The truth
Of who she was actually pursuing
The truth
Once it entered my awareness
The truth
The game became something of fairness
The truth
She never was like Ruth
The Truth
You were caught in that kissing booth
The truth
Is you were loved but you chose war
The truth
You had it all but asked for more
The truth
You got in the way of your blessing
The truth
Now I bet your heeding to what I was suggesting
To be
A woman seeking only God
To be
Respectful to all, even the odd
To be
Honest to the one you say you love
To be
Not a crow but a dove
A lie
You did tell so many times
A lie
You changed into a swine
A lie
How could I bear this
A lie
You thew into a furnace
A lie
A lie
A lie
Is what you told
Now it’s yourself who is going to scold
