Exposing the Truth

Your blatant excuses float on the wind. It really doesn't matter what you said. I know you don't regret that you have sinned For words can't fly if weighted down with dread. Could you see deceit in the mirror when, I looked at you and could not even see? I wish it had been so much clearer then, And I'd possessed the decency to flee. I stayed with you much longer than I should. Now, go, unfaithful schemes drift in the breeze Had they let on you would have burned, undone. This life's my own and this day I will seize.

nette, i'll bet you are hard to argue with, not that I would want to. Just sayin' Nobody likes being lied to and feeling used. That is what I get from this poem which is, as usual, very well written.
