A Practiced Facade

8-3-12

Let's keep up this pretense... so much experience at it

Tolerance is pushed to the very limits

Don't let anyone glimpse behind the facade

It's always been like this... so much wasted effort to fix it

----

We've fallen away from what love means

There is nothing left here in this place

Hurtful words from your lips constantly is too much to stand anymore

Acceptance of this truth is difficult...

But this is how life has dealt your cards

----

After all the brokenness, this can no longer be held together

A quiet tongue will not fix the damage done

All she wanted was love and understanding

Too bad you could not see

Your eyes missed so much...

----

So let's keep up this pretense like always

Twist her with your words and make her go where you want her to

Resentment burns red hot deep inside

Bitterness is a sour taste in the back of the throat

She has become a master at patience...

----

We've fallen away from what love means

Weight of stress, anger, and blame is some of what she carries around

Look away from it like always, put on a smile that does not fit at all

Sadness hovers like a dark morning mist

----

She was never wanted to begin with

Rejection is a nasty cycle

Things should have been so different

Regret will hit you when she leaves

Even though your wish is that regret cling to her forever

It's all out of control

----

Let's break her down more... is there enjoyment from her pain?

Throw guilt on her and watch the effects

Your lips forbid uplifting words to her spirit

One day she won't believe all the lies you have fed her with for so long

Maybe you will be happier when she finally walks away...
