You're my sweet charade

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z

when youre falling apart
no clue where you are
ripping at the seems
loosing sight of dreams
fading out of sight
need to scream and fight
breaking SO far down
just about to drown
slapped in the face
losing hope for grace
lost and confused
abused and so misused
questioning your needs
commiting immoral deeds
dont know youre self at all
just about to hit a wall
just about to crumble
to dive, trip and stumble
longing for some love
anything, to rise above
shout out loud
stand tall and proud?
not, thats not me
nor could it ever be
not ready to move on
or reach out for the dawn
just need to sit and stare
to move? i wouldnt dare
one slip may spell doom
i'd just go "kaboom"
it'd all come rushing out
my eyes- a water spout
drowing in my tears
confessing all my fears
all my faults and sins

i could never.



where have you placed your mask, my darling?
did you leave it by the door?
might you need to go buy more?
has it solely been misplaced?
surely it's not on your face.

ive never seen you dressed down, my darling..
did you drop it by the stair?
put it down while at the fair?
could it lie under the bed?
oh dear, you look so dead.

we shall go buy you a new one, my darling..
do you like being a mess?
bogged down by so much stress?
pretending gets so hard, i know
but, on must go the show

we all depend upon you, my darling..
that smile kept us going
you need to keep it showing
pardon all our greed
such a pleasing act indeed
