You Lied
Words cascaded effortlessly from a forked tongue
I was naïve to consider you pure
You Lied
Eyes that never spoke anything but broken dreams
My trust was never so fleeting
You Lied
Remorse was a thought forgotten once heard
My mistakes laid plain before others
You Lied
You smiled as worthless promises fell from your lips
I believed because I needed truth
You Lied
Whispers of love as we kissed in soft candlelight
I must have been such easy prey
You Lied
Because you could
And I believed
