Another Face (Another Lie)

Turning your eyes away from me,

I know it's over now.

Smiles once bestowed upon me

are now given to her.

I hope she knows

how you like to break hearts.

 

Everyone wants to know why

you're the center of life

or at least seem like it,

why you're the god

and everyone worships you

maybe they just hate you.

I wonder why they even

pretend to love you?

'Cause they really hate you.

 

Another face another lie

to memorize to memorize.

This voice inside me

reveals the truth,

tells me all that you are.

I hope she isn't hurt by you

like you hurt me so badly.

And I guarantee that that pretty face

will be tear streaked at the end

of the day.

 

You threw me away so carelessly.

Like trash out on the curb.

You didn't even think to dispose

of me properly.

You were cold, so cold.

Not a smile, not a wave.

Like I never existed.

Hate grows in my heart,

but I know that it's no use

fussing over you.

I hate you, b***h.

 

And if you hurt her

like you hurt me,

I'll hurt you even worse.

I'll pierce you with my words

watch you bleed from inside,

force it all in your face

watch you squirm in revulsion.

You can't escape

can't escape

the truth of what you

have done.

 

One new face one new lie

can be added to

your list of sins list of sins.

I dare you hurt her,

I want you to leave her.

To keep her safe from you.

Monster monster.

 

Another face another lie

to satisfy to satisfy

your need of lust.

And I can tell you now:

 

You won't hurt her.

Author's Note

I can't remember what I wrote this for. I do know that not everything is as it seems. That is one of the crueler aspects of human nature. Not everybody is in it for love, just for the attention. Or some other, possibly greater, incentive.
Just be careful. Really know who you're getting involved with. Not everyone has the best intentions.
