The Biggest Lie

You've been tagged: liar
From the beginning

And stupid enough
To believe I was naive

When I have been trained
My entire life

To smell the very sliver nerves
Coming from the best of liars.

That tang of adrenaline
That followed you wherever you went,

Because the lies were the only thing
That made your life even a little exciting,

And I let you lie
That smell would radiate off you.

I would wish that you would just catch fire already
As the life left me,

Because the biggest lie
Was not when you told me I was your best friend,

It wasn't when you told me you loved me
Or even when you acted like you cared

No, the biggest lie

Was when I told myself
That I could trust you

When will I learn?
