[this one is about not feeling like someone is real, like you've made them up]

I watch your fingertips tap the table
I'm trying to forget, but I'm not able
Locked away in a memory like a fable
Whatever we had, it had no label

I'm not a pretty star, she's the perfect juliet
A lover's secret meant nothing just yet
Pretty doll with silky hair so perfect, that it looks wet 
I wish that we had never met

I force myself to be below
Your arms hold a diamond, while mine hold a crow
Before you, I'd never sunk so low
Stranger, to lover, to foe

Delusional, my imagination seems so real
I lie to my paper daily, claiming that you still feel
I hate myself more than a watched meal
I watch your fingertips torture my peel
