Liar liar

A poem about deceit and control,

Liar Liar

By Shawn P Cassidy

She rises from the mirror’s gleam,

a shadow stitched from every dream.

Her smile is silk, her eyes are knives,

she cuts the truth from fragile lives.

She trades affection for control,

she drinks the weakness of the soul.

Her laughter drips like poisoned wine,

sweet enough to taste divine.

She builds her kingdom out of pain,

each broken heart another chain.

Her beauty hides the beast beneath,

a serpent crowned in golden teeth.

No mercy dwells within her art,

she paints her lies across the heart.

Liar, liar'' queen of disguise,

you rule the world through hollow eyes.
