Something isn’t right

Someone's eyes are gazing through me

I turn back to see what it is

It's just a person


 

A person whose eyes shine like rubies to me

A person who is very curious about me

A person who is very scared to talk to anyone but me

It's a person very special to me


 

I don’t know who they are

Or where they are from

I just know they are here

With me, knowing everything about me


 

“I know sometime it’s hard, but I’m always here for you”

Are the words they say in my every despair

I don’t know if they are truths or lies

But I want to believe it


 

As noone has said those kind words to me

So truthfully, I trust them with my everything

My sadness, my happiness my pain I told them all about it

They listened through every one of them without even flinching


 

As, I shared my everything

While they told nothing

I still didn’t know who they were

Or where they were from


 

But who knew? After telling everything they took of their mask

They told people by exaggerating all of my pains and fears

People whispered, “Oh! What an attention seeker”

But did they know that all of it was true


 

But they exaggerated everything to make me seem like the villain

And make the traitor seem like the victim

Was it inconvenient for you? You should’ve told me you were not interested

I said but all they did was laugh and mock me


 

I was the victim, I needed justice 

But oh, no one no one listened to my screams

My screams of trying to reveal the truth

They say the “truth” always wins, but no that’s just a myth
