what's in a lie?

What's in a lie?
That which we call betrayal
By any other name would smell just as shameful...

You gave me a cup full of wiggling untruths
Instructed me to drink it and feel better
I asked you what it was
and you told me it was your honesty

My heart split opened for you
poured out sticky revelations
and full kisses
offering embraces to comfort your wounded soul

I dangled from treetops and you picked each of my fingers
to let me fall into infested waters
I struggle to stay afloat
and you toss me an anvil
Yelling for me to keep my head up

You held my heart
Gave me squeezes to keep it beating
But gave me a heart attack instead

Each moment I held you
Each word exchange
Each kiss
Will be erased

I will start a blank slate without you
Your weakness is blinding
Your deception is unmatched
You spit disrespect to my face
And expect forgiveness

You have undeserved me
You will only receive my silence
And breathe in your guilt.
