I watch you come into the house,
Smelling like the "other woman".
I ask you where you've been,
But I already know your answer.
I could have left long ago,
But I wanted to watch it happen.
I'm bored with the lies,
And I wanted to watch them bore you.

I see the surprise in your eyes,
What? No rush this time?
No getting pleasure out of punishing
Someone who doesn't deserve it?
I know your kind, sweetheart,
And I know what you'll do now.
You'll leave me, bored with the lies,
And I'll have to move on.

You search my eyes,
Looking for the hurt and hate,
But there is none.
You can't hate someone
Who's made you numb,
Same as you can't love them.
You know it's bad, because
I didn't bat an eye this time.

This time you came home
With lipstick on your collar,
And HER on your breath.
It was painfully obvious this time,
And you know it as well as I.
So you can kiss me goodbye, sweetheart,
And we both YOU'LL be missing ME,
But I'm bored with the lies.

I'm not hurt anymore,
Not even that mad.
I'm just tired, exhausted, really
Of you skating around the truth.
No more figure-eights for you,
I'm kicking you off the ice.
Because I'm so tired, and
So, so bored with the lies.

Dance like nobody's watching,
Love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening,
and Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

Okay, well, sorry about forgetting to post on this again, I’ve been sort of busy with other stuff, but I’m here now

Like aliway said people like this cause they can relate to it, well I like it cause I can relate to it! Everything you wrote in this pretty much describes what I’ve been through, even the ending stanza, I was like that… You captured the thoughts and emotions in this perfectly! I pretty much like all your poetry, this one I like above all the others though, because for a long time I tried to describe how I felt about stuff like this, I never could get it out. You did, you wrote it how I would like to write it, you must be the better poet

Anyway, thanks for sharing, I know my comment isn’t constructive or anything, it’s just that I wanted to tell you how much I liked this, and how good this is…

I hope to see more from you in the near future

I can't say that I've ever been in this situation so I can't really relate but I stil love it. It's rhythm is great and I love how you described it, instead of making it enthusiastic while talking about boredom I love how you used simple words to express your boredom. Keep it up!
