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.

(written 2012) I wrote this after a breakup like most sappy poets do. At the time I was in a battle between what my heart felt and what my mind thought. Everything was roses and sunshine until the breakup ( like most) This was my way of dealing with all of the confused pain.
