Quickly

I don't choose to deceive, but I try to believe, 

and when trust falls apart, there's an ache in my heart. 

Our character is loyalty, with trust at it's base, 

when those two are broken, a shameful disgrace. 

I've spent my years open, not hidden, not fake - 

and now I have realized - it's all I can take. 

So lie, cheat, and steal - for it's yours to live with, 

my heart and my soul, 

are now closed, 

forthwith.
