Chameleon on the Wall...

Do you feel the pain really, 

Or are they just the crocodile’s tears?

Do you revel in my glory,

Or are they just the empty cheers?

I catch you sometimes looking at me, 

But when our eyes meet you look away. 

I hear every word you utter, 

But cannot really believe what you say.  

Sometimes you are sugar sweet, 

Sometimes you just drift away. 

When I think you are gone forever, 

You come back as a bright new day.  

When I reach for your hand, 

Sometimes its just not there for me, 

And then in my angst-ridden moments, 

You bring gifts of mirth and glee.  

I wonder whether you are here to stay, 

Or whether you are here at all. 

Are you really what I feel, 

Or are you just a chameleon on the wall.
