Nothing compared to you.

My torn and draped clothing, That clings to me effortlessly and hides the bruises lurking beneath because of the fear of being seen, Is nothing compared to the disguise that I've been forcing My mendacious smile That's affixed itself to my face and flashes at everything to cover up the truth, because I can't manage a real smile, Is nothing compared to the happiness that I've been faking. My absence from normality That's increasing dramatically and causing obtrusive awareness and concern, Is nothing compared to the absence in my heart That's gaping widely from the shattered pieces that have gone astray. My choking eyes that are wallowing in the puddles of my wretched heartache are nothing compared to the times that they've drowned in the rivers of life's inflicted storm. So stop putting on that constant act of concern, because behind that mask that you are hiding behind, I can see that you honestly don't care for me at all. And no act of your false salvation, is ever going to save me from your pain.
