You are good at making it seem easy
You wake up every day
And you put on that facade that you have been
Creating for decades
Walking through the streets
And creating the illusion that you are untouchable,
Yet someone that everyone wants but can never
Have because you are too independent.
Never needing anyone but yourself.
But I know you now.
I know you past that fake personality
That you change to mirror
Every person you interact with.
I know that it kills you to never be who
You really are because if you were
You and everyone else would hate you.
And for once in your life, you would be alone.
And we can't have that- no that would be your biggest nightmare.
You are so good at making it seem easy
That even when you showed me the real you
I wasn't sure If I could trust it fully.
A real-life wolf in sheep's clothing
After years of pushing the boundaries.
That facade glued on so heavily
That even when I had all of you
I felt like I had nothing.
Nothing but an act that I could never analyze.
You are so good at making it look easy
That i never even knew how much
You gave yourself to me until
I left you crying in your room- alone, I know.
You are so good at making it look easy that
No one else knows that that moment of solitude
Had ever happened but me.
But I know you now.
I can see how alone you really are
Now that I have moved on.
I can see now that the crowd you
Surround yourself with is nothing but a comfort.
Because you are so good at making it look easy
That even when you run back with your tail
Between your legs, it just looks like you stumbling
Back into reconnection.
I've always been jealous of how easy you make it look.
