The Monster with the Selfish Grin

You said you would love me forever
but forever was more than you cared to endeavor

You said 'til the end of time
I guess you had a different frame of reference in mind

You said we were meant to be
meant to be discarded so selfishly?

You "claimed" that you would be true
but liar's lie - a lesson I just learned from you

So which lie would you have me believe
that all this time, hidden up your sleeve
the you that you inhabit now
was a you I had never seen somehow

and if that's true, then who did I know
The blistering Sun melts away the snow
It's ugly under all that skin
The monster with the selfish grin
