Things between us just aren't the same,
And I don't know who is to blame,
Things are slipping out of control,
Now I feel as if I'm not whole.
Never have I been in so much pain,
What you do to me is inhumane,
You make me feel what I never should,
You make me do what I never would.
Now the tears rush down my face,
As I've been enlightened to your disgrace,
With the knowledge ringing in my ears,
I know it confirms my deepest fears.
Facade in place, I face the world,
Gossip and rumours have unfurled,
I dispel them all with a false smile,
My heart aching all the while.
As things start to settle down,
I make sure no one notices my frown,
For though I am sad, they will never know,
As they are just there to enjoy the show.
