The Character

Please don't fix your gaze on me

and tell me that I've changed

your eyes penetrate me with arrows of despise 

and I cannot bear the shame

I know your perception not to be truth

in reality the real me you never knew

I became myself once your chapters were written

your story read and your typos forgiven 

now I observe the pain and anguish in your eyes

as the character you created in your mind's eye

dies

Oh my goodness...this is amazing.

the last two stanzas...typos forgiven...
once we get to know the real person, if we can forgive those typos, damn, the story is good, yes.
