Caramel

Simple surface you is suffice
For the crowd's guilty blue eyes,
The dusted icing of the cake
With layers beyond reach,
The half-full, broken smile of pink,
blowing hollow pouted lies,
The succulence of honesty
A trait you cannot teach.
Canned laughter echoes in your ears
Triggered by your longing lips,
My silence is a knowledge
That resonates within your mind,
Brick by brick you crumble as
Your integrity water drips, but
You so deeply long to please them
That you leave my love behind.
I'll always be the sideline girl
In a crowded, empty room,
Shuddering with your destiny -
Such familiar red beauty,
Holding steadfast to your promises,
O' to focus and assume
Upon all your love of yesterday,
When alone, then it is me.
