Scales Of Justice.

You choose to give on one hand
A favour to your beloved slave,
The honey drips from your lips
But now I'm wise to you.

Betrayal lies in your every mood
A twisted root of your desire
To warp the bitter pangs of love
It's all a game to you.

Poison is your breath of love
Venom is your choice of words
You'd slay me with a glance
To support your ego.

And yet you'd suffer from remorse
The worshipper would fade away
And all alone the tears would fall
You'd put blame on me.

I cannot play this crooked game
Nor pander to your every whim
I have my pride and that's enough
To stop you in your tracks.

So give me now the dagger and
I'll do the deed on your command
But know this now, you will regret
The day I came to you.

I am your conscience and your guide
Your gift from me to you and when
You weigh it in the balance you'll know
I was always true.
