To a Liar

I hear lies in the words you say
Your mouth molds truth like clay
I feel distance in the love you display
You must have slept with Emily today
 
You took it further than I thought you could
And then lied to me like I knew you would
You lies will mark the ground you stood
Forever, your word is no good
 
Now that I now the truth I must obey
My hatred I cannot convey
Your departure I will not delay
You'll wish you were a better man one day
I hope on your soul it does weigh
