"A double faced entendre, as described by platinum artist Oliver Tree, is a person who, much like an entendre, has two completely different personalities. One being a sweet, angelic one, whilst the other is a backstabbing, devilish one. The problem is when the relationship first starts, you may be “blinded” by love and not recognize this fact until it’s too late." This is what Urban Dictionary says, now where is my 5% cut.

I want to keep moving but then the past keeps me locked inside myself and I don't know how to let go because I'm traumatized and being blind because I only see what I only want to see even though I'm soooo tired of being a bullshit!
