a perfect smile the dentist gave you
fake blue eyes to match...
best clothes money can buy
yet you're always watching your back.

always laughing
telling a joke, pretending everything's cool...
but at night when you look in the mirror...
your insecurities shine through.

you take your life day by day...
just praying that you won't be discovered.
but the green of jealousy can't be ignored
in the eyes of your old lover.

someday, somewhere, somehow
your karma ghosts will haunt you in your sleep...
and then you'll realize
that i'm the one you need...

i'm the only one who can
save you from the pain...
justify the wrong you've done
and further your selfish gain...

but I won't be there.
sorry, a lot of posts lately, but it's been a while since i've posted my stuff and i've written a lot...a lot of experiences have happened and this is how i cope.

"if you want me back...you're gonna have to ask."

Eric, this is such a well written poem. I really enjoyed reading it.
Yes, writing is a wonderful way of coping with things. Keep writing...

I can feel the emotion, my heart fumes with each line and finds all action. The fake blue eyes and the mirror in the evening, this is beautiful. Even the curtain closes with an ending for this person. They run out of options before they know they don't have any. Excellentay.
