Artificial Face (AF)

Artificial Face (AF)

A Poem by Jake Brunton

I want to rip your damn face off
I want to destroy that smug look that you give everyone
You love the self pity, don't you?
You get off when the fingers are pointed at you
and it's so devilishly delicious
you fake shell

Are you honestly turning the people against me?
Are you honestly hurt on the inside,
or are you just angry?
You always denied being artificial-
yet here you are
and here I am scoffing at the revelation
It's like a story that never ends

Artificial love in a burning place
Artificial ideals played on stage
Artificial murder on trace
you carry on;
you and your artificial face.

You'll never reflect on yourself
You'll never realize just how messed up you are
I wish that some day you will be alone
and then you may understand
That your robotic emotions
and your self-proclaimed 'loss'
destroyed the best thing for you

Artificial love in a burning place
Artificial ideals played on stage
Artificial murder on trace
you carry on;
you and your artificial face.
