The Liar.

We say we are human,

We say we are flawed.

We are our armour.

We are our own shield and sword.

We know that we lie. 

We know, but we try not to be caught. 

We pretend for some time,

But sometimes we just give up.

We scream and we shout,

Hoping just maybe, we'll be heard in the crowd. 

When the world is nothing but noise,

We need someone to hear us without being loud.

We need the joy, 

We owe ourselves the pleasure. 

But time is cruel to us and so is fate,

We tell ourselves we want what we desire.

We say we are human,

We know that we lie.

We pretend for sometime,

Continuing to commit the same crime. 

We are but demons. 

We are but simply stardust.

Soullessly we live an eternity,

Just to watch all that is pretty, rust.

We are our armour, 

But we fail, submitting to lust. 

We know that we lie ruthlessly,

We know that we are but parasites, living endlessly.

But what we want isn't what we truly desire.

We want something pretty, simply wanting to be admired.

You need me

And I want you.

You have my heart.

And I have your soul.

Yet we are still humans.

We are known to lie...
