Riding a Dead Horse

The beast was near to dying when the shot rang out

It was you who pulled the trigger at the end

If you're an example of love then I should've gone without

And we can't fool ourselves that we were ever friends.

I must have rode that horse over two million miles

In my journey of discovery here on Earth

And I have warded off demons in too many trials

To believe our emotions were not of any worth.

But to have it shot out from under me was a surprise

Though I am sure the beast was already diseased

I still say lies of omission are still fucking lies

The truth can't be molded and shaped as you please

You helped me discover that people have no honour

And you're not alone in supporting so many lies

Your wild sexuality created two different "boners"

Yet I will not abide the oldest of all alibis.

Let's just say it's enough for me to call it a day

I now weary from displaying any kind of love

Destroying so much of my soul I no longer wish to play

When I faced the truth, the pain was more than enough.

I'm not giving up, it's more like I forgot how to care

As I have enough love to still to say my goodbyes

But the reality of false love is too much to bare

I will shoot the beast myself if it begins to rise

Thank you once again for the betrayal of my trust

And the way you so casually played with my heart

I loved you so dearly I cast others into the dust

When it was you I should have asked to depart.
