Fake

You painted yourself as a soulmate 

and fantasised these dates 

I filled your cup with love and appreciation 

Yet I was treating my cup irresponsibly 

And you caused me to feel nothing but frustration 

As you spoke to me impolitely 

You played my mind with games 

And toyed with my emotions 

What were you trying to aim?

I cared about you with selfless devotion 

Many nights I dressed to impress you 

But you never showed 

Along the way you had lost your glow 

You made up excuses 

And gave me nothing but bruises 

I took your blames 

And your anger grew in flames 

I looked in the mirror 

And everything became clearer 

You were miming me 

And I was nothing more but a show
