Third person

Like that non existent face,

I was the third person always on hold.
Be it in real or virtual space,
That's how all the stories unfold.

Being lied and cheated,
For my own good.
To being used and hated,
As you changed your mood.

You gathered courage at times,
To speak out your mind.
At other times cowered back and whined,
When you forgot to be kind.

Whys and whats could never be answered,
Only the silent agony would remain.
As I would try to get these memories blasted,
Trust me to give you all that was refrained.

Deep within you will wither and cry.
Like all those nights that I held my heart.
This pain would never stop whatsoever you try,
Not even forgiveness would give you a fresh start.

Deceit and lies are what you would find,
Along with distraction and neglect.
I wish you to be the third person in your mind,
Whenever you choose to play your life's narrative on select.
