The Deceiver

Truth be told

I must confess

To honesty

I am subject

Truth be told

I detest lies

So I shall write

Of Lie in rhyme

Truth be told

I am a lie

I add to truth

Subtract, divide

Truth be told

I speak, disguised

Deceive your heart

Beguile your eyes

Truth be told

I'm crafty; subtle

Twisting words

My quick rebuttal

Truth be told

I mix and stir

A pretense

Sugarcoating's cure

Truth be told

I hide, conceal

Distancing

From truth's reveal

Truth be told

I switch and bait

I have no love

I am of hate

Truth be told

I'm coiled around

Devouring

Myself, unknown

Truth be told

I'll no more lie

Than will I find

In peace I'll die

Truth be told

Have I deceived

In all I write

Have you believed?
