Man In The Mask

by Trinity Rayne

How did you manage to change with little to no resist
It felt almost like a story in the middle of a plot twist
I can't tell how you'll be from one moment to another
I can't tell when you'll be aloof and distant or be clingy and smother
I don't know which side of yours is the real you
Your unpredictability makes me scared of what you'll do
I dont know which side of you I should believe
I lost track of you as you began to deceive
Who is this person that's behind the mask
I'm afraid I won't know the answer even if I ask
I'm left with more questions and doubt
I don't know anymore what true love is all about
Because of you I can't tell anymore what is fake or real
When you were in my life I didn't like how you made me feel
Your emotions were just all over the place
Behind the man in the mask I feel ill never know your real face
I will never unmask who you really are
All you'll just keep doing is leaving an emotional scar
All you've managed to do is break my heart
I never knew the real you even from the start
Everything we've had is built on a lie
You've managed to fool everyone all because you're sly
It's me you have hurt the most deep
I wash my hands of you because it's my sanity I wish to keep
There will always be a man in the mask hidden underneath
I realize now that you're fake as false teeth
The man in the mask I'll never see
I can finally let him go and just be
The man in the mask will never be revealed
Because the mask he puts on is his own protective shield
His words and actions are as painful as whiplash
He's treated me disposable just like trash
The way he treated me he relished it and took pleasure
But instead of being trash I tell myself I am treasure
The man in the mask put me through hell
But in the beginning it was just like a fairytale
I got the courage and the strength to let him go
I can rewrite a fairytale ending only I will come to know
The man in the mask was like a dragon waiting to be slayed
The man in the mask wears a pokerface with his cards waiting to be played
In the end I know this to be a fact
He played me good and it was all an act
I'm better off without him trying to run the show
If he tries to come back in I'm just going to tell him no
My life is the door he may knock at but I'll never let him back in
I never want to see the man in the mask again
I'll leave him out in the cold and let him think about what he's done
The man in the mask go away you've had your fun
He may one day regret what he's ever done to me
The man in the mask had me in chains but now I'm finally broke free
The man in the mask is gone and he's had his laughter
Meanwhile I'm out here living my own happy ever after
