The Cold, Hard Truth

by Jenni Marie   Mar 30, 2009


Look at you, standing there in all your glory
Smile as pretty as a picture, yet secretly falsified
Sly as a fox, never thought that would describe you
But then, I'm just one of hundreds you managed to fool

Finally, people are starting to see your true colors
Guess what honey? They're not as pretty as you make out
Cunning as a wolf, do anything to get your own way
But sweetie, people are seeing behind that gleaming smile

Now cracks are showing,l revealing your mendacious side
Can't help but wonder...what did I ever see in you?
Value honesty and loyalty, something you know nothing about
You're a walking billboard for vicious lies and betrayal

Yet you're still acting as though your as innocent as a child
Turning everything on me, god forbid blame be placed on you!
Only, everyone knows that you're the one in the wrong
It's just you, to immature and self centered to realize it

But one day, a time will arrive when you need somebody
Only you'll turn around and discover that nobody is there
See, the truth hurts worse than anything I could do to you
Just know...that I'm going to revel in your defeat

    I picked this as a winner because it had reminded me of many times my friends had stabbed me in the back and thought I should be there in the end for them. But then the realized that I was no longer there for them.
    It also reminded me of how I treated some of the people who were willing to be there for me and wanted to be there for me but i didn't want to accept it.

    Thanks for making me realize!
