Your lies float right out of your mouth
And swirl like smoke around my head.
They cloud my vision, fill up my ears
And drench me in the filth of your insincerity.
They start a fire inside my soul,
A rage that tightens my heaving chest.
They’re nothing I haven’t heard before,
But today’s a day unlike the rest.
I’m running dry on empathy,
My reserve of patience is dangerously low,
There are sparks where my forgiveness used to dwell:
A profound change that I don’t want to slow.
I’m done.
I’m done making you believe I’ve let your lies go unnoticed.
Never again will you have my trust.
You’ve poisoned it with your words so false.
What used to glisten is now rough with rust.
You lie, you use, you deceive, you cheat;
I get hurt, forgive, forget and trust,
But once again you just repeat,
The cycle of falsity that’s become us.
I’m sick of you and sick of pretending
That we aren’t hurtling towards our ending.
I’ve given you the time to change,
I’ve given you the space to grow.
But over time my heart grew cold
My rage grew hot
And now it’s time for you to know:
I never believe you,
I never did,
I know every oath you made is a lie
I do not need you,
I never did,
I’m more than sure I will survive
What is there to mourn?
What is there to miss?
There’s really nothing that comes to mind
Your lies a plague I can live without
Your love a farce I can leave behind.
