There it is
A foundation of sublime beauty
The crisp maneuvers
The perfect words
The basement itself holds looks of love
And the stairs – well they take you up and away from that which you know
The kitchen – a place for families
Where a shared love of food brings us falsely together
A cute purr, a look from the cat – you see him and try to please him
You have to please him to please me,
And I am the end goal – right?
I am who you want to own
Being playful always helps
No one wants to be around a ‘Debbie downer’
Sitting at the table – the legs of the table loose and week
Any pressure and the table might fall – maybe you say the wrong word
But the table stood its ground
It was the couch that ripped
Ripped apart from the outside in
Aren’t couches supposed to be comfortable?
For there I sat with your arm draped around me
For there I sat looking into your cheeky eyes
For there we settled into a false sense of comfort
Nothing to distract
Just the promises of ecstasy and love
The ideal lover
The player of all fun games
Games in all places
Even in the bedroom
Making love to me ravenously didn’t break the bed
The wooden planks could withhold from such brute force
Love was made, the bed intact
It was the pain you made that splintered the wood and made it fragile
Fragile enough to help me to see through the cracks
Fragile enough to pick up on the Truth
Fragile enough, to break?
It mattered not that it was my house
It mattered not that it was my bed
It mattered simply
That you reach your end goal – Me
Why didn’t you just steal my things
Why didn’t you just take my money
Leave me behind
Leave me behind
That’s the beauty about the thief
They don’t want you
They just want your possessions
They just want your things
The seducer
On the other hand
Sweeps through your life
Leaving behind everything,
Except You
Perhaps just broken pieces
Of yourself
Not having taken anything
That meant nothing to you
You would have been willing to give up everything
In order to keep yourself whole
I guess that’s just the way the cookie crumbles
I guess that’s the way the deception house works
But if I am strong
If I am loved
The deception House
Can now go back
To being a home
