As I sit and listen to your lies,

It eats away at me.

Every tale knows no guise,

I cannot break free.

You tell me things that are not true,

The gaslight has been lit,

Doubt creeps in - what do I do,

I feel like I’ve been hit.

I question things I know as fact,

When you say your side.

Your melodrama knows no tact,

Eroding at my pride.

My candle has all melted down,

I go and fetch you tea,

This time I smile - no frown found,

Drink up, then I’m free.
