In the depths of deceit, my heart did dwell
A tale of love turned into a living hell
Gustavo a name that once inspired trust
Now a dark shadow a soul unjust

Pathological lies woven with skill
Played on my heartstrings, a twisted thrill
Like a master puppeteer with words so smooth
He fed me illusions
my love he did soothe

But secrets he kept behind his charming guise,
Unveiling a darkness that slowly did arise
With A friend of mine you committed infidelity's sting
Thinking I would never know but
Betrayal and heartbreak the pain it would bring.

And then came the day that shook my soul,
Gustavo now behind Lew Sterrit's steel doors
a heart turned cold
In a prison of his own creation, he resides,
For murders so grave where darkness collides.

He will never confess to anything white or small truth entangles his fate
For he will weave more lies upon lies
Forever sealing his own gate
His words no longer have meaning to hold
As the tales he spun now forever unfold
Lied of her existence you insisted
Truth became told

Yet, through the pain
a phoenix shall rise
From the ashes of heartbreak
love will baptize.
For I am stronger, wiser, standing tall
No longer deceived by Gustavo's thrall.

In the depths of despair,l forgiveness I find
For it is in my healing that I leave him behind.l
A chapter now closed
a lesson well learned
In love's treacherous path
I am no longer spurned

A murderous crime you did commit
Over money that was counterfeit
So Gustavo your lies and deceit I shed
With each passing day I'll grow stronger instead
For in the embrace of truth's gentle sway
I found someone new today and your so yesterday
