Cheating Man

This is a poem I wrote in the mid-1990s, and it's from the point of view of someone who's been cheated on.


You thought you could deceive me
And you thought you could use me
But I can see with my own eyes
Right through your thin disguise


You live by double standards
You don't think about manners
And you thought you could cheat on me
And that I wouldn't see


Don't beg me for forgiveness
I'll only respect you less
This is how I want things to be
So don't come cry to me


So please just leave me alone
Both me and my heart of stone
Baby, I'll never forgive you
I've lost all faith in you
