Explain to me
How souls alive
No two alike
Can justify
Judging each other
For being different

Ever growing
Ever fleeting
Birth, life, death
Rinse, repeat

Hollow eyes
Set into her
Mask of smiles
Radiate
The dark within

Come what may
At journey's end
Life's not about
Its destination

Pink clouds
Evaporated
Not long after
Ever after
Disillusioned
As reality sets in

Don't expect too much
I'm but a victim of mortality
Toiling away at destiny
In hopes that it may change

Don't question
My egocentric motives
Thinly coated
In tender loving care

Fragile illusion
Please remain to be
My heart's desire
A fantasy
For I scare
Quite easily
And might walk out
Once you become
Too real

Spare me
Your excuses
You should know
What goes on
Inside my mind
I find this lack of insight
Highly disappointing

None but fools expect
Images shown
In mirrors cracked
To show more truth
Than they may feel
Inside themselves

First hear
From the source
Before you form
An opinion

Both kings and peasants
In this act
Have things to say
And moves to make
No life is insignificant

Despite your insistence
I can't tell you everything
Parts of me
Shrouded in shame
Are mine alone
Push me
Lose me
What's kept inside
I'll never show

Your words of love
Sound through my heart
Like sirens
Not a melody

Embers
Of friendship true
Glowing faintly
Amidst ashes
May still be rekindled
When given
Another chance

There's no bigger lie
Than a sugar-coated
Bitter truth

I pity you
The sting of envy
Marks you
Another's happiness
Resented
Wants turned obsession
Forgetting
Everything you have

Aren't you creative
Connecting the dots
Set out for you
Make sure
You also color them
Inside the lines

You've got that
The wrong way around
It's happy life
Happy wife

What do you mean
There were no signs
Did you not notice
I stopped saying
I love you
