The progression of a Fool

You mock me Never showing me your true self Telling me what you think I want to hear Lies filling my ears Tell others how you really feel Telling all but the one person you need to tell I tried to build this on trust Hoping you could feel free to act as you truly are Instead of putting on a show I remained true to myself Showing you my true side Only to see your mask Hidden your face is to me Ashamed to show it knowing I will see the truth My ways are old to everyone And misunderstood I though you would understand that The mask falls one night And I see you for your true self Confronting you Only to realize how far apart the lies have driven us A fool I was to believe
