Fool Me Once
You ignore me.
Abuse me.
Use me.
Every day is another lie,
Every lie is an excuse,
Every excuse is crap.
I’m sick of your crap.
You used to tell me everything -
He showed up,
Now it's secrets and lies.
Secrets.
And.
Lies.
He goes away,
You come back -
You always come back.
But then He becomes Them.
You turn to Them.
They abuse you.
Use you.
But you don’t see it.
You never see it.
You made your choice,
You’re happy now.
He is too.
But you’re not.
I know you.
You think you’re content,
You think he has what you’re looking for.
You think he’s the one.
He’s not.
But you fell for it.
His looks.
His act.
His
Secrets.
And.
Lies.
But I can’t blame you.
I can’t ever blame you.
Nothing is your fault.
Everything is mine.
Always.
So I’ll sit back,
Watch,
Enjoy the show.
Soon he’ll leave you,
Like you left me.
Alone.
You’ll come back to me.
You always do.
Only this time, I’m done with the secrets.
Done with the lies and half truths.
Done with You.
Good luck with your secrets.
Good luck with your lies.
Good luck to the next one you
Ignore.
Use.
Abuse.
Because it won’t be me.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
I’m no fool.
