I knew you lied
For I could tell by your eyes.
I’ve seen it too many times,
In mirrors and windows.
The confusion, pain and hurt;
Nothing new, but still fresh.

I won’t feel sorry for you.
I expect more than that.
But truly I feel pity or remorse;
Such wasted emotions.
I saw through your lies
Nothing but smoke and shadow.

I let you believe I didn’t see
In vain you believed my lie.
Which of us is worse, in truth
The one who lies or the one that believes?
Insecure in and of it all
How was our trust ever apparent?

Now looking back we wonder
How much of the truth was lies?
Was there ever honesty in all the words?
Could we have ever been?
Will we ever be again?
Is that even what we want?

In complete truth, the future is unforeseen
It’s all mist, fog, and ghosts.
No one will ever know of the anguish
Nor the confusion inside us both.
We will get through all of this,
Either together or apart.

It’s hard to even think now.
Too many what ifs and what mays.
I only wish you the best
In life and in love.
Go with honor and strength,
For now that is all there is.
