Challenge my eyes to keep from wandering
away and away again.
The need to look for something better is aggravating
and I fall for it every time.
I can’t help being this way.
You do it to me.
You make me want to walk away.
Walk away from all of the inadequacies I deal with concerning you.
Deep down, I know I hate you.
Far down, you hate me too.
We stay together to complete the lie.
Turning to so many things
to keep from going insane.
We stay together for the show,
the play that is our lives instead.
No costumes, no lines written out
but the same lies we deal with daily.
We seem to feel the same,
we act the same.
Drop the act,
one of us just leave.
Our lives are ruined
we are too late.
