What a sweet smile

It cloaks the devilry

That dwells underneath

Devilry that took a while

To discover and see

Perhaps because my heart

Fell so freely.

My love for you a deep haze 

That fogs my mind

My love for you a slow craze

The sweet, toxic kind.

A man like the sun

Luminous and bright

A comforting warmth

That thawed this heart

A man with the sharpest mind

A man who seemed kind

But as the all lies fell apart

He came completely undone.

My love for you a deep haze

That fogs my mind

My love for you a slow craze

The sweet, toxic kind.

This heart felt afraid

This heart couldn't believe

The deep, dark secrets

That you concealed

This heart could not accept

This heart refused to see

Your slender fingers 

Being bloody.

Can you smile now, darling?

Now that upon it shines the sun

Deny it as you might

The truth now is clear in the light

Clever as you are,

This you will conceal

With silver words

And you just might succeed

But you know what you did

That's why you broke.

I hold regrets

But time cannot be reversed

With this love for you

I still stay cursed.

My love for you a deep haze

That fogs my mind

My love for you a slow craze

The sweet, toxic kind.
