Practical Joke

How could I have been so wrong
From the very beginning I knew; just friends
But the poetry, conversations, connection
Diluted the reality I was in

I knew what I felt
I thought you felt the same
I tried so hard to keep myself sane
To be realistic
But the voices around me told me otherwise
I fell into the trap they built 
Have been swallowed
Have been let down 
Again

Why do I keep up the act
Why do I pretend 
I'm not worthy of your affection 
I'm not enough to catch your eye

I had my first dream about you 
I thought that was a sign
It was just mockery 
Laughing at this pain of mine

Why do I believe the lies
Why do I fall again and again 
I should hide
My heart
My soul
Maybe then I wouldn't get hurt
