The Lie

By Ocean of Truth

You Lied!!
You lied... you lied....

And you looked me in the face
All the while

You knew the consequences
That's why you won't own up to the truth

Sensuality is not to be shared
With any other
        than your one and only
And yet you let it happen
Time and again
        With no remorse

No conscience
No awareness to this heart
Or how you're tearing us apart
This is NOT paranoia
Yet realization
       Of the cause to the pain in my chest


I will not let you walk on me anymore
(Your legs have already had their workout)
Being nice never seems to work
(You never showed mercy)
These eyes droop
And lazily scour the distance

So I drift into this endless slumber
      Of a loveless life

{With}
          or 
              With[out]
you

I guess it never really mattered


Even though I loved you more
than love itself

And this life will never 
              be whole....
