**you
You’ve dug yourself a hole
That, from which you can’t escape
Your lies are now about you
Covering you like a cape
All this time you had me fooled
By what I only chose to see
But now your secret’s out
And no longer safe with me
You withheld the truth
You though you could get by
I can’t tell you how hurt I am
To know you feel the need to lie
Why would a person do that?
What made you think you should?
Why would you lie to me?
Was it just because you could?
Your words come over me
Like a bucket of ice
And crawl upon my thoughts
As though a field of mice
So next time you feel lonely
Don’t come looking for me
For by then I will be done with you
My tears you will not see
