“Great Deceiver”

The greatest liar
You never knew
Hid behind your eyes
In every room

He’d weave a word
With fine half-truths
But tie-up the yarn
When threads hung loose

He’d warp with craft
Under your nose
You could never tell
‘Cause he never disclosed

But the greatest art
He ever wrought
Was you never knew
That he was you—

He was you
Great deceiver

Yes, you yourself
You never knew
Like a drunken man
By a mirror fooled

You sold your lies
And bought them, too
Laundering your shams
For a discount dupe

Your forked tongue
Thrust to point your lies
While its other tine
Stretched to spike your mind

Like a double spy
Doubled down in disguise
Your great fraud—
Was deep down you knew

Yes, you knew
You always knew

Fabricator
Decorator
You always knew

Manipulator
Collaborator
Great deceiver
