Snakes Behind the Sacred

Whispers in the dark, shadows whisper truths

Secrets hiding behind sacred vows

I saw the serpent’s sly disguise, a gentle hiss beneath the lies

In the temple of their words, a venom that divides and blinds

Love turned into a game, a chase for what’s not yours to claim

Leaving scars where trust once lay, pain that lingers, won’t fade away

How can you claim to love, then tear my world apart?

To steal what’s held so close, and not feel a single heart

The calm facade you wear, hides a cold, forsaken core

Always seeking what’s not yours, always wanting more

Snakes in the garden, they slither and deceive

Their words like poison, making us believe

That love is a game, and heartbreak is just pain

But I’ll rise above, break free from their chains

Behind the sacred, there’s a lie, a betrayal dressed in truth

How do you sleep at night, knowing you’ve lost the proof?

Of what it means to truly care, to stand honest and fair

Now I see through your mask, I’m shedding all the dare

No more hiding behind the sacred word

I’ll find my peace, though it sounds absurd

Snakes may come disguised, but I’ll recognize their hue

And walk away from the poison, to find what’s pure and true
