Master of Deception

Questions

For a succinct amount of time I felt I knew you.
For in that time you exposed to me the chink in your armour.
I perceived you as untouchable once, but then I reached out and touched
you.
I thought you overshadowed me with your confidence, but you really only
clouded me in your fa?ade.
I held you high in admiration. Inside you were low in self
hatred.
Why did I not see through you? Was your performance that
flawless?
Were the signs not apparent?
Did I then fail you for not seeing invisible tears beneath your perfect
smile?
Did I let you down?
Should I blame myself for not realising or should I blame you for being
so guarded?
Should I resent you for not trusting me with your pain?
Hours of deep conversation flow through my mind, searching for some
missing evidence.
Nothing.
How did you give so much and reveal so little?
Were we close or could we have not been further apart?
You cheated me with every word you ever spoke, how can I even begin to
forgive you?
Should I shed tears for this stranger lying in front of me?
