I thought you were someone else, <br />But you were just an imposter, <br />A phony, a fake. <br />And each day, <br />I hope and pray <br />I never make your mistake. <br />Because I never want to be like that, <br />I can’t ever wear your mask. <br />Yeah, it takes guts to reveal your disguise, <br />But don’t you see these tears in my eyes? <br />I don’t know what made you do this. <br />I don’t know how I can get through this. <br />If you aren’t there, <br />Why should I care? <br />How would I dare? <br />If you aren’t there, <br />All I feel is pain and despair. <br />Cause I’m lost in your eyes, <br />And I can’t escape, <br />The memories that I hold dear. <br />Hundreds of thousands of questions racing through my mind, <br />But to ask them all, <br />There isn’t the time. <br />As I look into those peaceful eyes. <br />Now you’re happy. <br />Now you’re sad. <br />Now you’re distressed. <br />Now you’re mad. <br />But you blame it on others, <br />Like your dad. <br />But in reality I know, <br />I’m the one at whom you’re mad. <br />You’d never admit it, <br />You’d never dare. <br />But I’m the one <br />Causing all the pain and despair. <br />So I have to end it and say goodbye, <br />Instead of eternally <br />Living a lie.<br /><br />Crazylady Weirdo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/living-a-lie-2/
