Lies

I study your lies, I already know the truth
It shows in your eyes, it tells the real you
I am amazed by your mind, you lie too much
You are one of a kind, you have got the touch

I ask you daily, you never fail to deny
But your actions prove that she is your wife
We are together but I see you once a week
You are with her everyday, is it comfort you seek

Your daughter is no excuse, those messages prove it all
Those words she told me made me feel two inches tall
I no longer feel your presence; your heart is not with me
It is with her, I am not blind not to see.
