Projecting a mirage

Every time I talk to you
I feel some despair
Every time I hear from you
Lesser do I care
Every thing you ask of me
Feels like it's a dare
To test my strength
To reduce me
Forget that I'm there.

Every word you've said to me
Every day you're there
Every message you send to me
Makes me want to pull my hair
Every sentiment you portray
Feels like it's designed to be on-air
To show the world a side of you
That both of us know
Isn't there.
