Lies , Deceit and Hurt

Lies , deceit and hurt 
By Lady Arabella 

I once thought you would never do me wrong again 
I had little faith as it was or trust in men 
You took my insecurities and used them against me 
Now I’m sat here questioning why I was too blind to see
You’d threaten and take from me all I was proud to have in life 
You didn’t just stab me in the back with your knife 
I always supported you and was there when you needed me to be 
Yet I’m the one sat here wondering how you could do this to me 
You don’t say sorry or even acknowledge what you’ve done 
I may as-well have loaded the bullets myself in the gun 
I forgave you once when you played me like a fool 
And still was a friend to you ..how could you actually be so cruel?
In all your mistakes I’ve always  been there and supported you 
Checked in when your down like friends are supposed to do 
 But you used and took advantage of that and  led me down a winding path 
I hope at the expense of my feelings and pain  you’ve had a  good laugh 
Lies , deceit and hurt that’s all that’s left 
I’m the one picking up the pieces yet still wish you the best 
I wish I could  purposely hurt you like you hurt me 
But you know that’s not who I will ever be 
Lies , deceit and hurt and yet you don’t even care 
How is that even fair ? 
You may have taught me a lesson which I needed to learn 
But you didn’t have to hurt me on purpose in return 
I always tried to understand you and figure you out 
Now all  that’s left is  nothing but doubt 
Did you even mean the words you said?
So many questions left in my head 
Lies , deceit and hurt yet I thought you had changed 
 I wish years ago we would have become  estranged 
The saddest part is if I knew what I do now 
You know full well I’d have said no worries and worked it out some how 
 I would have supported you no matter what and always been there 
Because even without your love as a person for you I still cared 
My loyalty ran that deep I just wanted you to be happy and for you to smile 
If only for a little while 
You didn’t have to do what you have done 
But I hope in the  game you played  you had fun 
Lies deceit and hurt 
I never deserved that 
To be blamed for something you lack 
When it was you all along who was playing a game 
Why was it me who you tried to blame ? 
Lies deceit and hurt 
Nothing but disconcert 
But don’t worry without your apology I’m doing just fine 
Sooner or later someone had to draw that line
