Dulcet Perfidy

On a path of smiles and tears, hatred and love… life treads on
Look around and realize that the trusted allies are long gone
Left for dead, with oozing sores, a cursing fate… an eternity forlorn
All words and promises, once filled with faith… now remain torn

Walk along the path of life, shaking hands and making acquaintances
Socializing, unaware of the hidden treasures or nuisances
Look around, understand motives and start maintaining distances
Sometimes just get stuck in between and there come the fences

Then there arises the fear, a known Stranger makes its way
You send an invite for a grand welcome, your feelings sent astray
Then you walk away, leaving the known Stranger for its sins, to pay
Why did you do so? Only you can answer in the games that you play

Pull along the Stranger into confidence, a life being destroyed
A connive of treachery is what everyone seems to have employed
Stabs on the back, piercing quite deep… scars the other side
Bleeds the heart… never regretting what thy sweet perfidy conspired

Cheers,
The Johny
