how do i not read
lies in your words
when you contradict yourself
and leaves me wondering

how do i not see
manipulations in your actions
when they seem so carefully planned
and leaves me unsure

how do i not grow cold
when your words and actions
are as night and day
leaving me insecure

maybe that kindly face
hides a malicious creature
having had years to perfect
an art i have yet to discover

your arms say
i love you
your words say
i dont care

do actions speak louder than words
or is this a game that has no name?
