Counterfeit
You approached me with feverish intent
But I wasn't looking; I was self-content
You said you wanted to get to know me
But really I just wanted another homie
You said that you didn't share your space
So I was shocked when you brought me to your place. You wanted me to open up, but I was still healing from a broken love. I thought your pry was sincere, so with my scars still open, I shared my pain, transparent and clear. Thought maybe after I opened the dark room's door, you wouldn't want to see what was within; but to my surprise, you said you were all in. I began to make room for you within my heart. Started to look forward to your presence, your new role, your part. Embraced the new adventures that you brought along with the silly little girl crush thoughts. You gave me peace and a place to bear my grievances; but now that you've flipped on me, I fear that your shelter was given only for self conveniences. You abandoned me; leaving me devastated but free. You left no explanation, just my mind's assumptions. How dare you make me crave you, then leave me emotionally destitute? Now my exposed wounds are horridly raw and my freezing heart is refusing to thaw. My hard shell, once softened, is now hollow; with no sign of breath or light to follow. As I sit and think about all of your prior promises, I come to realize that you lied to me. Goodbye Cinderella man, at my soul's table you can no longer sit. You are nothing more than false. You're counterfeit.......
