Deceived

Darkness is a scary place
A feeling of solace
An empty black hole
That eats you whole
And sucks out your soul
Not knowing where to go
Not being told
And yet here you are
Trying to find the light
To light up your darkness
Only to be launched back into it
Face first, not sticking the landing
Crawling towards it
On your hands and knees
Trying to hang on
But it's a slippery slope
And down you go
Never learning from your mistakes
The lies and empty promises
Told once again
Once again the tears
Come rolling down in streams
As you remain in darkness
Everyone plays with light
Until there's nothing left for you
Everyone plays with your fragile heart
Until there's nothing left, no beating
No more tears you shout
But they're still falling
No more believing
But you're still deceiving
