I was just a stupid kid
When we first met
Didn’t know the weight
Of all the things I said
Could never have imagined
The road that lay ahead
I’m sorry I deceived you
But I deceived me, too
At the time I thought
My love was real
I’ve never tried to lie about
The way I feel
Instead you’re the one who kept
The truth concealed
Perhaps if you’d confessed
I may not upped and left
The fucks I had to give
Had long expired
Sorry I could never be
What you required
But in the end I guess
I’d grown too tired
To stick around and listen
To any more of your deception
Response to the Word of the Day Challenge prompt: expired
(not based on anything current)
