Nothing But A Lie
Every "truth" that you've spoken,
Every kind word that you've said to me,
Has turned out to be nothing but a lie.
And now I'm left here, to suck the poison out of these wounds,
That for all these years have made me oblivious to your games.
And when the venom is gone,
I will be more vulnerable to the pain you left with me.
