You mask it all too well

I thought you left
Mindful of your future
Your fear of losing your senses
Broken and deserted
Was it your pride
Or your fear that made you leave?
Nah, it was your calculating mind
You knew what we had was good
Maybe even better than those
You've shut out from your heart
But what do I know
I was only a ghost trying to sate
The void that can't ever be filled
Because you always want those
That you can't ever get...

You'll always be alone


Bitter and abandoned,

And the funny thing is?

You can mask it all too well
Relishing in pleasure
Even as you're writhing in pain
Shattered in shards of bitterness
Numbed in pain, bleeding and broken.

Many men are afraid of a strong woman. I think that it is too bad we have this deficit of bravery and willingness to be with strong women. I know that a good woman can make all the difference between a good life and one you would rather forget.shimmy chicken
