That One Puts the Brakes On

Faked embraces,
Sooner or later are replaced.

One may try hard to hide behind disguises.
But a false face,
Does not a lasting relationship make.

What becomes obvious,
No longer can one accept or take!

And that one puts the brakes on this,
Quick.
Eliminating any climbs attempted.

Wished, assumed or perceived to exist.
That may be fixed in another's mind.
