Cryptic

Your cryptic words
Roll of your twisted tongue
You sing songs of love and longing
But the song sung back to you
Falls upon deaf ears

You twist the truth
Of who, what, and where
Fitting it all to your design
Of cryptic selfishness
Hidden behind cryptic lies

In a far away place
With blood on her hands
A girl mourns her love for you
One that you cannot stand
Your cryptic life rejects it

Cryptic, though you are,
You are translucent
Stripped of all pretenses
Your compassion, lies, and sorrows
Are lost on me

Feel shame in your
Naked body
In all that you have done
And will never do
Who you will never love

You want to act and
It will suit your cryptic
Delusions well
Hide behind a character
A story already foretold

The story ahead for you
Will unfold in cryptic lines
Of deceit and lies undone to you
Karma
Will be cryptically yours

Author notes

Though cryptic in it's words, the meaning is quite clear.

    Redundant and disturbing. I don't know why you would ever consider picturing me naked.

      Naked body"

      ^^^ That does not imply I thought of you nude.

      The point of the poem was to be redundant. Disturbing? No. Truthful? Yes.
