Façade


Pull me in with that silver tongue. Become your puppet, completely strung. You played me like a record. And I sat through the discord. Followed along with hope in my heart. That this time was a fresh start. But the end was nothing new. And all your words were proved untrue. You provided a welcoming front. But it was nothing but a stunt. And like a fool I took the bait. While your only goal was to alienate. Cast me aside with the rest of the trash. Avoiding me like a terrible rash. Forced into the isolation. Social company is my deprivation. I once called you my friend. But that's not how it is in the end.
