Tears May Not Be Permanent

I can not believe
I ever trusted
You…

...used my weakness
against me;

(the one person
I thought I could
finally count on…)

So,
I am just an extra,
to [fill in] the gaps
when you were bored..

but it’s over now,
we’re through and done

I’ll never speak
your name,
never speak
to your face
full of lies
…again

I know these tears
may not be permanent,
but will the scars
you left will ever heal?
