A High Price To Pay

Your life is pure fiction
the world you reside
you've built a facade
while you hide deep inside

The mall where you live
with your plaza of deals
your bittersweet bargains
your discounted steals

You emulate feelings
which you don't really have
the syrup you pour
from the heart  you once had

You've spread out your blanket
and expect me to crawl
to lap up your words
that you deceitfully scrawl

I'm afraid your contagious
like a  fever cold  flu
if  I purchase your lies
I'll become just like you

I hear your train coming
with it's luster and shine
all polished and svelte
and looking quite fine

I won't buy a ticket
it's a high price to pay
the ride is too costly
I'll find some other way
