Painted Picture

Some have told me we seemed to be the best of friends.
And some have asked what happened, ya’ll seemed so close
So they thought. What they really saw was a painted picture.
Beneath it was hurt and deceit.
That no one could have possibly have seen until now.
And beneath the smiles and laughs was really anger and mistrust.
Who painted this picture?
It wasn’t by us but just me.
I painted this picture to hide my feelings from everyone
And eventually myself
