You Lied

By Tara Nicole Walker

Dedicated to James Earl Gamble II

Don't pin this on me

Like it's all my fault

You said to do what I needed to

That it would be OK

That you would be all right

But you lied

And now what I've done

Torments my soul

And there is no way

To stop it

I must live

With the guilt

Of hurting you

Because

You lied

You said it'd be fine

But it wasn't

You said "do what you need to"

But you meant was "stay"

You said that you'd be fine

But you aren't

Do you think it was easy for me?

You're the only one I've ever loved

Do you think I enjoyed it?

And now you're out to crush me

And you have

Because

You lied
