Liar

She never believes a word I say. It's the same thing every time, "I don't believe you," or "you're lying."

Nothing I can ever say or do could make her have an ounce of faith in me.

I tell her everyday, "I'm telling the truth," "I'm not lying," but as usual her face remains impressive, unbelieving and unrelenting.

It hurts too much so I try not to think about it. But how can I help it when she's a constant reminder in my life.

Anytime something is done wrong, she always points an accusing finger at me even though I'm innocent. I guess the only person who knows I'm not lying is myself.

They say everyone deserves a second chance, but she gave up on me the first time I screwed up.
