Shallow

I can resist you, you don't mean that much to me,
You mean more.
You take me too seriously, you need to stop trying so hard.
And give in.
If you broke us, you'd break me,
And you.
I'm too there,
Too real.
You're accustomed to fake, it's all you've dealt with.
What you're dealing with.
I beat you at your own game, you feel normal,
Shared.
I'm a disappointement.
I'm what everyone thought I was.
Except you.
You knew different, but hoped I'd prove you wrong.
I didn't.
You led me on, and felt guilty.
You should.
I had it all once, before you came.
It's irreplaceable.
I've hurt you so much that you can't see past it.
You've stopped looking through me,
You look right at me now.
I made you second-guess me,
And yourself.
You won't admit it.
You just accept it and move on, to the easier,
To the shallow end.
You move on to people that are your mask,
And that won't try and see past it.
I am too far in, too deep.
You gave up on me, I was too good , yet not good enough.
Like your real self,
The one you hate.

The one you hate."

Hi NM
I have been through with these feelings with my ex-GF. Seeing thro someone is really difficult and you get tired of it after sometime. Its funny how people act unpredictably to utter dismay of their lovers. Hope you're not one of them. Anyway I am through with that pphase of life which was very pathetic...

Sincerely\
