For the Liars (in my life)

By ColorMeToxic



If I am a skeptic...
It's because you have lied,
so many times,
prior to  this time. 

How do I know...
if you're telling the truth?
I don't think you can...
as the truth isn't you. 

If I seem like a bitch,
while you're on the defense...
it's because your attitude tells me
all I needed to hear. 

It does not take a genius,
to figure it out...
You can gain trust, or lose trust,
with what comes out of your mouth.
