it’s annoying
and disappointing
you vow one thing
and do another
where is the care
you promised
i count on it
only to be let down
i gave you
too much credit
trusting you
to do your one job
fulfilling the deed
you signed up for
i should be able
to believe you’d deliver
“My word is my bond!” you said
that commitment
was and is
bullshit
things get
out of hand
you expect me
to pick up the pieces
like i always do
like an obedient servant
dutifully
avoiding defeat
but in the end
i
take the hit
this party’s over
I Write Her 
Definitely “party over”

Insincerity and misrepresentation is the same as lying, IMHO.

How can we rely on commitment when we don’t even know who we are at the moment, let alone who we will be 10, 15, or 20 years from now? I think that is frustrating to both parties when things don’t work out.

This isn’t about people changing but rather misrepresentation. But I understand what you are saying, Jim.

Sure, that makes more sense. My friends daughters boyfriend came over for dinner and he was a complete asshole—his nothing, really. Her mother complained afterwords that he had no manners, and he should’ve been polite. Ah, I say, you wanted home to pretend politeness? Really this was perfect. You got to see the real him which is what you want. Not deception.

The lesson would be to learn from it and not trust the words of a person who has proved themselves to be untrustworthy.
