A Melancholic Melody

How did you not descry
My tear-stained face
How did you not descry
My distended eyes
How did you not descry
The scars i abandoned
How did you not descry
How i agonized myself so
How did you not notice
The nights i forsake the idea
Of a blissful sleep
How did you not notice
My lifeless eyes
Glazing over as you chatter
How did you not notice
That i sharpened my words like knives
To defend myself from your harsh mistruths
How could you not discover
That sometimes i felt like dying
Filing the depression with more desolation
How could you not discover
When emotion overruled my sanity
When i couldn't constrain my rage
Am i just that good at deceiving you
Or are you that good at convincing yourself
That everything must be alright
So let us enjoy
The castle we constructed
To clog with all of our lies
Precarious as it was
We couldn't help but try to climb
And fall to our cessation of life
