liar

you slash me down with your serpents tongue for wvery vulnerability i exposed to you,

then had the nerve to ask me why im a liar.

you taught me to fear your every action and reaction, 

you say im the one adding the fuel as you strike a match and set me on fire.

maybe i am a liar because thats the coward in me hiding from you.

but when all you left was fear, the one who taught me to lie, you already knew.

you taught me to lie every time you sliced scars upon my heart,

you called every cry self pity after you tore me apart.

there was no time to take care of the burden i was when you had real problems to tend,

although my comfort was always first to be offered when it was your heart in need of mend...

you taught me to lie so dont you dare call me liar,

im burning in flames in the creation of YOUR fire.

and maybe i chose to sit in the flames for far to long,

but when its all youve known, the screams become your lullaby song.

maybe the fault isnt merely your own,

but perhaps this wasnt a problem i created alone.
