Was it Real

A glance as you passed through
No one is going to judge you
You hide behind a facade
Smiles on your face
But I see the hurt in your eyes

You are so strong they say
You could carry the world
But I have seen your wrists
I have dared to think what everyone else has dismissed
Because I am your equivalent

You are popular
I am strange
You hurt
I hurt
You hide and so do I
How are we different

After I knew you you dropped your facade
I fell in love with the brief moments when you broke the mask
I saw inside your heart and your smile was real
Your laugh was different
And maybe just maybe you loved me

But then they came
The Shield was put back on
And I am stuck here asking myself until tomorrow
Was it real?
