Don't Trust Me

7/29/10

I drew you a picture

a masterpiece of vibrant color

a piece of my heart

then i watched it dissolve in the water

the hose in my hand

as i destroyed what my hands had wrought

the offering's been retracted

the heart has turned to another

and i told you

i always told you

don't trust me

i'll break your heart

i'll break your trust

i'll hurt you and leave you cursing my name

because what we had

was a drawing on the pavement

a tour de force of chalk

that disintegrates in the rain

and i always told you

don't trust me

i'll break your heart

i'll leave you sobbing on your bed

don't trust me

i'll break your trust

i'll hurt you and leave you cursing my name

don't trust me

i'll break your heart

I'll break your soul

don't trust me

i'll break your heart

and we'll go our separate ways

with the curses hanging in the air

over the chalk stains

of our love

don't trust me

i said
