insubstantial wax
cascading down
my skull
i make it what
i wish you to see
it is little more
than a game
i play,
one that
i have mastered
time and again
i create false
smiles
and you buy them,
false eyes
that call you closer,
false laughter, music
that you fall into
false eyebrows,
false nose,
false cheekbones
in sleep they shall
fade
and be different
tomorrow,
all new at my
discression
never see
the real me
years have passed
without a face
and it saddens me
you never noticed

Never showing the real you while hiding behind many faces of deception.Being sad because they didn't notice the real you.But you never gave them the chance for you only showed the facade you created.Good write.
