Lies

Why did you lie to me
Why did you say you cared
When I knew you didn't
Why did you say I was first 
When I knew I wasn't
Why did you act like I was special
When I knew who was really special to you
Why did you say those things
I didn't ask you to say them
How did it benefit either of us
It did nothing for you
And left me feeling betrayed
Unvalued and lonely 
Realizing you didn't care
What did you gain
Nothing
Why did you say sorry
We both know you didn't mean it
Was it to save your reputation 
Or to give me false closure
All it did was made me wonder
Who else is lying to me
Why did you lie to me 
I know you don't know the answer
Because I don't know either
Of why I did those things to you
