Her fakeness is the sheath that wraps over me,
Suffocating me from seeing the devil hidden underneath,
Her criticism of me is beyond repair,
Every time I breathe I feel her disappointment,
Arching over me,
Her words are bearing over me,
Small and always there,
Strangling me with disbelief,
I’ve seen many editions of two-faced,
But honey you haven’t been to the show,
Until you’ve met her,
Then you’ll know,
Her shallowness will follow you,
Like a shadow.
