12 Situations I remember 
the first thing you said about me
and though I wasn't supposed 
to hear - I did, and I know
that it was everything but kind...
I still haven't forgotten 
how you made me feel.

You began telling lies too soon
for me to distinguish the difference
between being friends, and
being your accomplice - 
and though I know better now, 
the damage is already done.

I see you with the people 
that you care about - and I can see
our interaction is different.
You seem to actually enjoy their company 
And I notice, the only time you notice 
me is when they're not around...

I will simply warn you that
you're only making an ass of yourself 
by playing this game of make believe - 
I've been used before- and in the end
it's always the liar who takes the fall...

and boy, you look like a murderer - 
using me as your weapon, killing time.
