| Watch Your Back |
| by Ann Marie |
You’d think I would have learned by now
That you can’t trust just anyone
I give my heart too easily
People step on it just for fun
And yet I still go back for more
Thinking people can change
When I anticipate humane behavior
People act as if I’m strange
You can’t expect anything
From people you don’t really know
You think they reveal as much as you
But just half is what they show
Soon they get you to confide
Things you’d never share
Before you know it they are gone
To spread secrets who knows where
Not only do they spill the beans
They include some spice as well
Your story wasn’t wild enough
They add lies to what they tell
Sometimes twist what you said
Or leave out important parts
Whatever they do to the truth
Leaves a stab wound in your heart
You never see it coming
The knife enters from the back
Why do friends lack the nerve
To launch a frontal attack
