A Boy Made of Lies

By Dragonfly

A boy made of lies

Who never seeks only hides

With words spun from silk

smooth like the milk

a kitten would get from it's mother

strategically place avoiding each other

I freeze

as his lies curl like a python restraining my pleas

A lab rat that wont fit in societies maze

I'm just a book, empty, page to page

invisible ink revealed with your tears

read me out loud for the whole world to hear

then bend back my spine for the whole world to see

Then slowly unravel

the secrets

of me

    Fabulous simile with the book and one note if I may - "python" line should end with "pleas" I think? Excellent work here, thanks PD (Barney maybe?).
