Pretty words
Have never sounded better than
When they roll off
Your tongue.
It would seem I should
Know better
By now
But I can't bring myself to
Stop listening.
And though your lips
Are painted with deceit,
I'll gladly stay
For your voice is slightly
Intoxicating,
Almost
Mesmerizing,
A silver web spun by
Clever hands.
I promise I will stay quiet.
So please,
Tell me another lie.
