With every word you said
And every lie you untold
The covers lifted, face shifted
I stood there waiting, sifted
Through all the dramatic shit:
Sentiment, emotion, belief, all tumble out...
I stare at you wanting to shout;
I was just a little girl too
We bask, we talk, we sue
Damned lawyers thats what we do.
And then you say this bit, lose the ado
And stand stark naked before me
-Stripped of all pretence, clothing-
Did I say I hate pretence?
Maybe its just a necessary defence.
Ugh- I smell the self loathing
Well up and bolt...
(No time for this shit.)
Its no offence to you,
You tried to be honest.
Just hope you dint see my disgust
Before I realised
That Im just the same beneath,
Clothed in a fragile sheath.
