you hold one in your heart
keeping one on a string
you feed one half-truths
the other knows things
what little they know
what you think they believe
you hide it so well
your character, it seems
as you dance with them both
a large shadow you leave
and the love that you share
is framed with deceit
look in the mirror
a reflection that's black
a love based on lies
will eventually crack
when you look at her photo
love coursing through your veins
remember what you said
the ghost card remains
