I stare into your deep blue eyes,
Set deep within a foul disguise
That I’ve grown merely to despise.
You’re not who you once were.

Once confident and so secure;
Come rain or shine, you would endure.
But hateful, spiteful and demure
Is what’s become of her.

This mask you’ve willingly acquired
Leaves others cold and uninspired
Until destruction has transpired
That can never be made whole.

Betrayal is your favorite curse
To rectify, to reimburse
The pain you’ve felt, the loss, the hurt
That now consumes your soul.

I’ve tried ignoring, tried to hide
The pain that I’ve built up inside
For days, for weeks, for months I’ve cried,
But you won’t go away.

I wish that I could let you be,
But you are now a part of me
That won’t detach; I can’t break free.
Alas, you’re here to stay.

So I must live with your disease,
This burden you’ve placed upon me,
Until the day when hopefully
I’ll leave your curse behind.

Forever I will attempt to pass
And try to ignore this looking glass,
My mirror in which you reside
That shows the evil I can’t hide.
