I Am a Liar Too
- March 08, 2017


Why must you smile to me?
Why do you look at me?
You think we can be friends?
So you offered a handshake
And a glass of wine
I took it and faked a smile
Pretending all along as if I'm pleased
You joked over the lovely meal
A good sense of humour you've got
A really nice time in the party tonight

But you ruin it all
When you asked for my contact
And I humbly said no

No? Puzzled and wondering
No, I think I was clear enough.

I shrugged and turned to leave
I felt the avalanche of disappointment
Burying you alive as you stare blank at my back
I heard the cracks of your breaking heart
Though I wish I could help
But I have learnt to trust no one
Not even my kinsmen

I do not believe in hugs
I do not trust in handshakes
I'm not deceived by smiles
I am not taken by your charms
For I am also a liar too.
