Your betrayal
is yours alone.
You wonder why
I won't answer my phone.

I'm still pulling
the knives from my back.
I can't understand,
loyalty you lack.

You're not who
I remember.
Who's smile and charm
left my heart
smoldering with burning embers.

I gave you my trust,
Which you never deserved.
I mistakingly
believed your every word.

You deny that
those words were never said.
Shame on you.
Playing games with my head.

I will not give you
anymore of my time.
You showed me your true self,
lie after lie.
