The Greatest Pretender

You should be given top marks
Being so good at what you do
You have perfected the skill
Of breaking hearts in two

Leaving the trails of destruction
That you never return to mend
Forgetting about the broken
Yet called yourself a friend

Its the game you play with ease
So clever at putting on the act
Yet so good at hiding away
Still afraid of facing the fact

Confrontation you so aptly avoid
Leaving lonely hearts to dwell
Craftily departing ever silently
You do play the part so well

Award for deciet should be given
For your many well crafted lies
Greatest pretender of them all
You're the master of disguise

I can certainly feel this ....

       the world is full of pretenders but only the great ones
         seem to cherish their trophies.

     Enjoyed your words.

the entire poem was high impact, yet, this touched me the most...

Well done
