Although I lied,
you did as well,
it hurt inside,
but you couldn't tell.

I stood before you,
offering my love,
but you didn't see,
how good to you I was.

Time has passed,
and your still grieving,
I felt your pain,
but I had to be leaving.

I needed to know;
it was a test for me,
it resulted in failure,
and absolute misery.

You thought you could save me,
by telling a lie,
the only thing you did,
was hurt me inside.

You've scarred me forever,
like I did to you,
the pain is unbearable,
I never knew.
