The List Of Lies
October 14, 2010
The list of lies,
lies people have told me,
is too many to count.
Loved ones,
enemies,
friends,
foes.
All have told me lies,
lies I can add to my list.
They said I could trust them,
one lie.
They said I could tell them anything,
two lies.
They said they would love me forever,
three lies.
So many lies.
Why? What have I done?
I'm just naive I suppose.
Naive for believing I could trust them,
or trust anybody.
I can only trust myself,
sometimes that's not even the case.
Now I lie to myself,
more lies.
More to add to,
the list of lies.
