Truth is Not Your Forte

I’ve heard it all before, the lies that seem so true
You let me believe you, you made it so easy.
Your tender caress, your loving touch
Then you stopped, dead.
You stopped lying and talking altogether.

I shared my stories and my heartache,
You listened but never returned your own.
Oh, you had lots to say about my condition,
Never anything worth the breath it took to say.

I should have known then that you were fake.
It was only a few days but to me
It was a lifetime opened in to an abyss.

You tried so hard to be physical
Always used your hands not your words
While I poured out my heart, maybe to easy,
Your eyes were so kind and seemed so interested
Were you really or was that untrue too?

I should have known then that you were fake.
It was only a few days but to me ,
It was a lifetime opened in to an abyss.

I heard from friends that you are who you convinced me you weren’t
It’s funny, I don’t feel so stupid anymore,
It seems this is what you do, this lying for the fun,
I just wish I hadn't been fooled.

I should have known then that you were fake.
It was only a few days but to me
It was a lifetime opened in to an abyss.

Fake should be your middle name,
what’s even more fitting
Is how it rhymes with the one you were given.
