Half truths – half lies,
Reality bites,
Reality stings,
You know what that means.
We play hide and seek
Scared to reveal… our vulnerable hearts,
We were hurt at least once
Some even more
Wounds heal but scars sore
And we learn to wear masks,
Shielding our hearts,
We create a disguise
And pretend we are fine,
Searching for love – bonds built on trust,
We jump and we fall,
Grasping the hope – we get up again
One more ring on the chain that’s holding our hearts
Safe deep inside…
Heavy… but better than being fully crushed,
We keep our fake smiles – inside and out –
Hopelessly trying to figure it out.
We look for the answers…. We look for the light,
Desiring a bond that could heal our hearts.
An honest connection unleashing the love,
We yearn for it daily, falling apart,
We want someone to notice
The truth that we hide…
