she doesn't love me
she only says she does

she doesn't love me
she only thinks she does

manipulation
is afoot
and i suffer
the burns
borne by her lies

she stings me
she flails me
and i cannot
let go

her claims
are chains
my stains
from pains

those whispered daggers
only shred my heart
but what really hurts
is the belief she has
in herself

i watch the girl
nod in self-agreement
she doesnt love me
she only says she does
