politics or relationships

everything they talk about is not what it seems.
they talk about one thing but do the other.
lie through their teeth as their eye gleams.
we're suppose to trust them with all our heart.
but when we let them in,
that's when things fall apart.
we always trust them, but it's always the same.
they always screw things up.
that's just the nature of their game.
time we realize when a new one comes around,
their suppose to lift us up,
but in fact they bring us down.
we must realize what they aim to do.
cut us down little by little.
and take everything from you!!!
