Love Poem: Everyone Knows Your Name

Everyone Knows Your Name

I'm stuck living in a town where everyone knows your name,
I don't want to leave my room and be forced to explain.
How do I tell them our love story wasn't love?
How do I confess that the whole time it was rough?
How can I say that it was all a facade,
that our fairytale was always flawed?
How can I describe that I caught you in lies?
How do I explain that you moved on fast,
while I stayed paralyzed as my world crashed?
How do I tell them all that you never really felt the same,
when I'm stuck living in a town where everyone knows your name?
