Sweet Deception - Laura Gibson

Sweet Deception

Oh cruel, cruel cruelest comfort.

I have known the first

And I have known the last

Of your kind.

Sweet Deception

My one consolation

I will find my rest in the quietest of lies.

Sweet Deception

Of best intentions

Are you a keeper of names?

A bearer of sins?

Do you hide yourself in bones and skin?

Oh sweet deception!

Sweet deception

Most careless of loves

Shall I call your name

Or learn to be

Alone?
