Hiding Failure
Little did you know, I knew.
Playing the game you choose to play
Hiding secrets in the sand castles
And climbing the highest limbs
(over the heads of mindful acuity)
But, I seen you there
Just past the ethereal gateway
Pretending to be the glorious perfumes
Wilting the roses inside their thorns’
Dancing with the dragon flies
And then too, the damsels of the wind tide
Just to float on by
Behind that ostrich feather
Always hiding who you really are
Leaving everyone to wonder
…those who care to know that is
To wonder what your dreams really are
And why do you paint those imitation rainbows
on the sidelines of your life vessel
Posting your spinosity of rain dances
Wandering about all those thunder storms
Ducking and dodging behind the scenic views of reality
I may never know
You may never care for me to know either
(for all I know)
It’s your game after all
And your life to paint anyway you choose
And yours too,
to hide, behind your canvas of choice
But I wanted you to know, I see you
You made many mistakes
But I don’t mind your failing to hide
I just want you to know
I am aware of you…
…and I see you

This is quite powerful poetry, my dear. He has no defense, you are definitely onto him...Tell me, should he be "someone that you used to know???"
Don't waste your precious energy on someone who chooses games over real life.
You are too good and beautiful for such nonsense...
Love and peace and light to you, my friend,
