Mask

You can’t be friends with somebody you’re in love with
A wise woman once told me that
She said that being friends with an ex
Either means one of two things
You still love each other or
You never loved each other at all
There is no in between
I was foolish to think that
She taught me to open my eyes
To see the people I surround myself with in
A different light and I have
I’ve seen you for who you really are
Not the person you pretend to be
I’ve seen past your mask
And I don’t like what’s underneath
