Sometimes in form of friends,
Sometimes in form of family,
Sometimes in form of love,
The Selfish world comes & bites me
*
At first it all seems true,
You believe in them through & through,
Unaware about their deception,
We refuse to alter our perception
*
We believe in them all along,
and keep them happy by whatever it takes,
We think that they believe in us too,
But in reality its just the bait
*
They hiss & coil like a snake,
Ready to attack when the opportunity strikes,
Lost in their love & embrace,
We are left suprised at the first bite
*
Unable to believe what happened,
We stay in a mental abyss,
Left alone & vulnerable to disappointments,
We lose all the bliss
*
We take control over the emotions,
And fill out heart with disdain,
Forgetting the pain we’ve endured,
We enter the Selfish world again.
