That's all it takes

All it takes for me to know and sigh

I realize something is wrong

And yet you continue and you try

Try to hide it with another

But, another cut is made by your lie



As here I calmly lay

Knowing you'll keep this up

All I have to really say

With a feeling of depression is

This is my last day



You'll think it's a deception

Smiling, truthfully I will say

The only thing I ever hear from you is...

A lie
