PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

caught up in a masquerade wearing a mask with a painted smile
playing a game people play pretending I'm someone I'm not
I've been here too long I'm tired and longing for something more
I guess I stuck around for all the wrong reasons the fighting I thought was better than losing her 
now I must pay the toll
speak of the devil, look who just walked into the room
The guilt invaded notion of someone I once loved with all My heart
everyone's pointing their fingers condemning me for things I've never done
trying not to need her is tearing me apart
trying not to love her even after all 
there's got to be a better way to die
I never lied I just didn't know the world would change 
at last sweet sorrow sweeps in to numb my pain but sorrow does not love her the way I did
if you were to look beyond what you think you see
I'm the loner in the corner who silently cries
one who bartered a soul just to be loved 
caught up in a masquerade wearing a mask with a painted on smile
the people wait 
for the games they must go on
