Nectar of Lies

Drinking the sweet nectar of lies

Oh, how the time flies

I completely despised you

But how you’ve opened my eyes

*

I’ve really learned so much

As I was no longer enough

You threw me out with the trash

Our relationship not meant to last

Thank goodness

*

But again, I’ve been educated well

And now I'm very wise

You had me under a spell

Of drugs, deception, and lies

*

Now I’m too old

To have hate in me

And I forgive your stings

I’ll just never forget the lessons learned
