The Lies Once Told

You didnt want me 
Yet your hands traveled upon me 
Like the headlights dancing on the highway 

You didnt love me 
Yet your lips spoke of three words 
Over and over again 

You didnt need me 
Yet you made me believe that 
You couldnt live without me 

You didnt care for me 
Though you used gentleness 
Against me
