Pretender

Glacier with a soul

hides behind a mask

of frozen smiles.

 

The Great Pretender

 

Taking what he won’t give,

feeding on feelings he

can’t return.

Playing games with rules

only he understands.

 

Secure

in his ice domain

 

always alone.

This poem makes me sad, which must mean that you're great at portraying your image!

Oh I have met a few of these pretenders... Amazing piece where I felt the chill of the cold heart that rests behind the frozen smiles.

thank you Kalypso, I appreciate the feedback. Yes, there are a few men and women out there like that.
