Double Take

i loved who i thought you were,
who gave me attention, didn't
take me for granted, or my love
who loved me when she was alone
as when she was with people,
when you made me your priority.
i miss that person. i don't miss you
because i realized it isn't you,
it was a mask, someone you
pretended to be, and when you
got tired of acting like you cared,
things started getting bad,
i went one way and you went another,
from bad to worse.
i still love the person
you pretended to be, i miss
someone i fell in love with,
not this horrific show off
monster that you are.
