Memorial

She lied and she lied
Till I begged her to stop
Then I cried and cried
Every last fucking drop

And the flowers I gave
Just wilted and faded
They were fresh from the grave
Of the truth she evaded

And my heart once so hot
Is now dead stone and cold
The kettle, the pot
Now cracked open and old

For she said she would not
But she still went and did
Til I joined up the dots
To reveal what she hid

Yet denial persists
Shame, dishonesty, pride
In the kisses she kissed
When she lied and she lied
