Cheated

When the curtains come down, I feel

Cheated.

When the wall is exposed under

Peeling

Paper that sold me a

Feeling,

Just not one it ended

Revealing,

When the engine is opened and

Bleeding,

After the promise that it had been

Healing,

I can't help but feel you've been

Dealing

Cards you've collected by

Stealing.

When the curtains come down to

Reveal it,

When you turn back around and I

See it,

I’m not sad that you're not who I

Needed,

I'm just sad I was so easily

Cheated.
