Social contentment

I won’t lie, nothing hurts more than to realize

Your absence makes you happy, as you lose inches off your thighs

But it tortures me to the bone. I’m not good with goodbyes. 

I can smile, I can fool anyone unwise

But when you’re back, will I improvise?

Or will you taste the lies?

Don’t punish me for my failed disguise

Pain is not a crime.
