Mistrust

How can I trust you again?
You took my love for granted 
You thought you saw something better 
And ran off when the chance came

You’re vile lies 
Slip through your soft lips
Your smile tries to bring me peace
But the words you say torment me

Is it right for me 
To give you another chance 
Is it wrong for me
To try and rebuild what we had 

You faked your love before 
How will I know it’s real?
Are you faking passion with poison
Will I succumb to it when it’s too late?

You’re telling me all these lies 
Wrapped with golden truths
I know you loved me at some point
But I know it wasn’t enough to keep you

Are you here to be my companion?
Or
Are you here for my compassion?
