Mask -No More

The mask you wore so well lies you spoke poured out like rain Eyes stoned me to death Your soul faded away like a ghost walking through walls, I became a prisoner Caged in shame (I didnt do anything wrong) Walking on eggshells (I didnt get in your way) Spoke in guilt (I didnt love anyone else) Afraid to look you wrong (my eyes only saw you) ..... You locked me away till you needed me but you didnt stay, I collected dust and I became old I was no use to you for you found something new, You made me believe it was all my fault but your eyes were always searching even though you had it all, I spoke to others of your shame and I blamed myself. NO MORE! It's not my shame I won't keep it to myself any longer I'm free of you So let me breathe Let me live If you dont like it Then you shouldn't have left You should of treated me better You should of let me love you even more than I did then.

Any relationship of the heart should be an equal partnership between two people and not a subservient relationship, just my opinion. Nicely written Amanda. John

I am sure there are many who can relate to this at one time or the other in their life. Nicely expressed sadness, loss and triumph.
