Poetry: Lies

by D Turner

Created on: July 10, 2008

My God would you get over it
I did that seven years ago
It has no bearing on today
So you have to let it go

Oh good lord are you kidding me
That was done three years past
You really need to just forget
That time was the last

Well here we go once more
And yes I did it again
But it's been an entire year
So stop going where we've been

And you are still bringing up
These things that I have done
It's been a whole four months
And this was for sure the last one

Why do I continue?
Can you really not see
This isn't about the specifics
It's about your lack of honesty

It's about your inability
To give your word sincerely
To stand by what you say
And stop selfishly hurting me

How many times
Do you think you can say
This time it is the last
Today is a new day

And then turn your back to me
And continue to proceed
To seek out all the others
And claim it's what you need
