You hide behind your big smile But I know you wear a mask And I see the lies you hide I see the scarred fragile soul Cracking beneath the weight.

My fingers gliding across the keys In a race to keep up with My wayward thoughts Drifting through me head Things demanding to be out

I thought I knew What was love That I would recognize it When it came to the door Greet it with open arms

A fluke encounter Letter after letter Turning me inside out Each new exchange Giving me

Night has fallen Once again Leaving me alone With my thoughts Their incessant prattle

Forgiveness is the hardest gift to… Tears clouding our vision Our sadness turning to madness Hiding our hearts beneath Thick layers of rust

The radiant crescent moon illumina… Transforming the clear azure water… The gentle evening breeze sending… I stand above my reflection, watch… A stranger stares back at me, her…

We wrap ourselves in bubbles The numbness keeping us safe From the pain we hide from Silence filling gaping holes In our hearts as we try to forget

The blank page stares back at me Mocking me with his taunting glare… The hands on the clock ticking - t… chanting, “Failure, failure, failu… My mind is frozen. I’m blank.

Here is the thing Before you came along I was doing just fine I knew the score My days all had an order

I’m exhausted No fight left My lids so heavy Rocks mark my eyes No tears left

Disappointment is everywhere I lo… It is in the faces of those I adm… And shown in their actions I wish I could fix everything All the hurt feelings

Guarantees a long painful death ...
