of all the things you stole from me
my dignity was the worst
through false actions and dishonesty
you bestowed on me a curse

the easy lies you have told
the aching pain you’ve wrought
makes me weary wondering
where’s the life for which I’ve fought

I thought I’d come to love you
as the years went creeping past
but know this final degredation
has now become your last

keep the words locked in tight
there’s no willing ears to hear
your oiled tongue has no use
I’ll no longer submit to fear

take yourself and leave me be
farewell to the games you play
spread your poison somewhere else
my pride’s come back to stay
