You can make claims of your innocence, <br />To others who may be convinced of it. <br />Until your naps turn straight, <br />And hold your breath with a pouting face. <br />The fact remains... <br />Your claims are untrue. <br /> <br />At this time and place, <br />What has happened in the past... <br />With the lies you've told, <br />To cover your manure with fresh planted grass... <br />Doesn't make a difference to me. <br />I have distanced myself from that existence. <br /> <br />And whether you speak to me or not, <br />Without admitting what you have started... <br />With the dropping of your negative debris, <br />Has been erased just like you have been... <br />From my memory to believe, <br />The actions you've taken to such a degree. <br /> <br />To me... <br />You will always be a child. <br />With pretentions done behind a faked smile. <br />Seeking tolerance for your deliberate misdeeds. <br />With a hope to be perceived as someone with integrity. <br />I no longer think of you with it to know what it means.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
