You hid yourself from me
Details were unknown...
Except the obvious details
everyone knows
your job
where you live
what you listen to

I was supposed to be the one
you wanted to share with.

You tricked me into believing that
you wanted me involved in your life.

I hear others talk about you
and I feel like
I NEVER knew you.

The person I knew was gentle
he was patient
understanding
sensitive
and genuinely cared,
shy and reserved
and the right amount of fun

I hear the things you have to say
They don't sound like you at all.
So I fight.

Angry words you will never hear from me
Just from those who listened

It fits. You were too busy to talk
face
to
face

I can no longer be in love
with someone who isn't real

You showed me something other than yourself
A ghost is who I fell in love with.

I can no longer tend to a broken heart
caused by fake realities
I can no longer cry
for those who never existed

I can cry for the pain of trickery,
for being so blind
but not for a ghost.
Not anymore.
