Real And Fake

I stand shell shocked
I am aghast with agony
a puritan I thought
he would be
has turned a criminal
he could not be.

My heart sinks with pain
My heart weeps and sobs
a loner in life I thought
he would be
has turned a fraud
he could not be.

My mind pulls away in shame
My mind drags me out of fame
an affable guy I thought
he would be
has turned cruel
he could not be.

Well the feel and wish
he would be
has turned flat and blatant
he could not be
the real becomes fake
the duplicate turns original.
