The Truth Lied

Believe me when I tell you
That I know what love is,
And what love isn't--
Yet it isn't easily defined.
I've had broken bones,
And a broken heart,
But trust me--
The broken heart's worse.
The boy lies sweetly,
Casually,
To my face,
To my heart,
Even though I only seek the truth,
And I wonder now what the truth is,
Because once upon a time
I thought that I knew
But than I watched the truth change
Before my very eyes--
But it all depends on one's perspective.
The boy talks like a wise man,
And I listened once,
But I know better now,
Because he is nothing
But a self-made fool,
And I deserve better.
The boys smiles sweetly,
But I know what's behind that grin,
I know what lurks underneath the charm,
And you know what?
I don't need him anymore--
'Cause the boy's just not worth it.
