My simple flaw,
It seems nonsensical,
But the things I saw,
Are far to memorable,

I saw the lies,
I heard the fraud,
The truth in his eyes,
I began begging God,

I knew he was pretending,
But I couldnt be alone,
This mask I was befriending,
Out! my light he's blown.

So my simple flaw,
It seems irrelevant,
But the things I never saw,
Left me indecent,

Humor my pains,
And I will be fine again,
Dont cause my rains,
Dont be that masked friend
