"They lied"
you told me
that you never would do that

"They're spreading rumors"
you said even as you
pulled me along

"I won't hurt you"
you lied as you laid your hands on me
you robbed me of everything

My body, my voice, my own mind
you broke all of it and left me with nothing
and I stand in the wreckage, trying to understand

"You're lying"
you told me
and I felt sick

You used me
just like you used them
tossed me away when I saw the real you

You were horrible
a liar
and an abuser

But you've lied your way through
and now everyone will believe you
but most won't believe me

You made yourself sympathetic
all alone and quick to cry
while you drew in those who vulnerable

Naive, oblivious, too trusting
you took them all in
and broke them down

Like a spider in your web
you kept spinning and spinning
until I couldn't tell truth from lies

But I know now
I know I'm not crazy
I know I hate you

I know I'm not wrong
for knowing you lied
I know you hurt me

My body doesn't lie
with shaking hands or sick stomach
if I so much as think about you

You made me kiss you
you asked for more
and I thought I loved you

But I know now
that it was all a lie
and you're just the spider

The spider in your web
telling everyone we lied
but we know the truth

I won't let you hurt them
even if that means
you hurt me again

"They're my friends"
you said
but I heard how they talk about you

You take advantage of them
and make it so they can't speak out
because you're just "too perfect"

You made yourself the sympathetic one
and now no one will listen
but I won't let you hurt them

I'll talk to them
I'll get in your way
because I won't let you do to them what you did to me

You're mentally ill
but you don't want help
you lie to your therapist

You lied to me
you lied to my friends
you lied to the office

And I can't stop you from talking
but I will stop you
from ever hurting them again
