PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is nothing that could be said

to take away the simple truth regarding our interactions.

You attempt to tear me down

and I pretnd to look affected.

The more you push me away however,

to more you truly let me in.

It's always easier to be hated

than to risk getting hurt again.

I learned that lesson long ago,

so you've nothing to educate me.

Perhaps I shopuld be my true self,

and stop putting up these layers

of childlike wonder.

Would that please you,

or simply give you more to mock?

Perhaps tonight I stopped pretending to care,

and you're the one who doesn't understand me.

No longer my temptation,

you're my personal joke.

Everytime you open your mouth to barb me,

I'm simply laughing inside,

and you'll never know how easy it's been to fool you.

If I ever truly cared about you,

you wouldn't be the subject,

you'd be the secret.
