I found the truth in the rising sun.
In your manipulation, I found my way,
To turn the night into day.
About Someone
Web of Lies
In the shadows of your gaze,
Lies a deceit that does amaze.
Each word you spoke, each trick you played,
Turned my trust to a dull shade.
Your manipulation, a haunting light,
Turned my brightness into night.
With every lie, every sigh,
You made my confidence die.
Your deceit, a cold wave,
In your presence, I am brave.
In your absence, I found my voice,
Learning to make my own choice.
Forever growing, forever true,
In your shadow, life renews.
