Forked Tongue

- originally written December 12, 2009 -

You were just one more boy
Who came along to destroy
I saw you whisper in her ear
The same things I used to hear

Or was I just one more girl
For your words to twirl
You’ve collected so many
Weren’t worth more than a penny

Keeping us all strung along
Never thought it was wrong
So many slights of hand
You had it all planned

I always saw the grin in your eye
Should have known things were awry
But I never saw the forked tongue
That for so long kept us all hung

Now I can see it all so clearly
I’m done being your 'merely'
I couldn’t believe it at first
But now I know you at your worst
