Untrue
Written 8/4/99

I can't believe you,
I was honest, but you couldn't be true.
I told you what was in my heart,
and you were really nice, told me we didn't have to be apart.
Saying I couldn't have you as a love, but still as a friend,
then I find out it was all pretend.
You came to me as someone else, insulting me,
did you think I was so dumb, I wouldn't see.
Too bad for you, because I knew,
and you exposed how your nice words were untrue.
You said you wanted to be nice and not hurt me, so you lied,
but then you made fun of me, when I admitted that I have cried.
You hid behind your false identity,
thinking I'd blindly follow you, like you were a deity.
But I'm not blind, my eyes see clear,
and I know now, you weren't sincere.
I just don't understand, you said you didn't want to cause me hurt,
yet you threw insults, trying to make me feel like dirt.
I find your lying,
and even bigger insult, and I do feel like crying.
But that's what you want,
so you'll continue to taunt.
And that's why I won't cry,
not a single tear will escape either eye.
Because I know you aren't a true friend,
and that's it, good bye, the end.
