So you’ve caught me

I’m a fake

is it really that surprising?

I’m not funny

nor pretty

nor intelligent

so why did you stick around?

so I lied about my name

my age

my virginity

so I lied about it all

I’m not some pretty little girl

with a perfect little life

waiting for her prince in shining armor

he’s not coming.

i realized that long ago

you’re no prince in shining armor

not even close

your rusted steel mail

reflects my ugly persona

so why did you keep looking?

my lies unraveled so easily

so why did you keep listening?

I’ve been caught

so why did you let me go?
