They Lied
They said:
I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,
I won’t do it again,
I’ll change.
They lied:
They did mean to,
They did it again,
They didn’t change.
They promised:
It wasn’t my intention,
Never again,
I’m a new person now.
They lied:
It was their intention,
They did it again,
They are the same person as before
I learned:
People lie, and one thing is for sure,
People don’t change
