Shall I tell you my true feelings,
or the lies that make you happy?
We talk in circles around the fringes of our lives.
Keeping it light, keeping it breezy,
never saying what we really mean,
never knowing what we really feel.
Will you show me your true feeling?
Do I really want to know?
Skating on the hard shiny surfaces of life is safer,
easier than trudging through the deep dark forest,
where the true feelings dwell.
Deep below the surface.
Can we even find them anymore?
Are they still alive?

My life has become a brittle bouquet
Of dead red roses in rapid decay
And all that I thought one day I could be
Is now but
Woke up this morning
heavy heart in my chest
thinking of all I wouldn't say
how I'd do my best.
But I didn't
no I didn't.
Caved

or the lies that make you happy?
We talk in circles around the fringes of our lives.
FEELINGS LIKE THIS
I soared over a thousand mountaintops,
plunged to the depth of the ocean's floor,
winged across lakes
