Mahogany Lies

I’ve been crying crimson tears,

Poisoning your words with all my fears,

Addicted to all these toxic fumes,

Dependent even as my ruin looms,

Words, they’ve haunted me for years,

The sole survivors when the rest clears,

Although they never fade or turn to dust,

With time, scarlet words turn to pernicious rust,

Wicked and consuming me from within,

Trapped and chained, I just can’t win,

Silence, not even you can save me somehow,

All these Mahogany lies, I’m theirs now..
