He wore a mask
Everyone else saw through it
except me
I should have listened to the one's who truly care about me
but instead I believed the guy in the mask
the mask seemed perfect,loving and caring
The guy is not
I know that now
I wasted time and love on him
He never really loved me
He was only after one thing
thank God I got away before he got his way
If he would have, I would be feeling even worse
I don't think I could have handled that
I feel ashamed that I was naive enough to believe the mask
now I have finally seen past the lies and to the truth
