The Masquerade

"The Masquerade"



Lack of commitment is really a disguise,
a self created bandage to cover the pain.
A disguise that has been perfected over time because,
there has been no healing for emotional exposure
for in love it always seems to end up the same.
Everyone is searching for the place
wherein needs can rightfully belong
but to keep the past from returning you intentionally
at the door of closeness transform every right
into a learned behavior of wrong.
Therefore, you have given life to an invisible persona
Wherein your hurt has allowed him to seem alive
The emotional gypsy who lacks commitment
visiting hearts where he has no desire to ever reside.
Roaming from one relationship to another,
carrying meaningless emotions
What is meant to be shared losses purpose
existing in the heart of one.
Like a man without a country, you've become like a gypsy
feeling no alliance to anyone.
A casual acquaintance of happiness but
a frequent layover in let-down-town.
The masquerade has kept you moving to avoid
what has gone from ever coming back around.
Always traveling puzzle-like roads having no destination
For in your heart love is a missing piece.
Forever picking up the moments belonging to brokenness
The masquerade of the emotional gypsy is
a life lived half and incomplete.

DYSFUNCTIONAL

DYSFUNCTIONAL



Dysfunction is like food eaten however undigested

Stays within us and produces pain

Words misconstrued causes emotions to stress

And heart to strain

Attempting to comprehend the meaning

Of thoughts tossed about

Without a highway of communications

Conversation is mono, one alone cannot figure out

Unable to bring back into existence

The misunderstanding of yesterday

Dysfunction causes one to re-create truth

However told their way

Healthy thoughts transformed by dysfunction of self

Now hurts



Undigested the pain won’t go away

Misunderstood becomes a grudge of emotions

A roadblock standing within a Blessing’s way

Loved ones unspoken to

Within the circle of acquaintances roams many regrets



Yesterday's moments live within the present

Time we cannot forget

Friends now foe without reasons

Lovers now strangers again

Dysfunction breeds like a cancer wherein

Healthy relationships can never mend.

Will I Ever Be Free

Years have come and gone, over many days of happiness
pain seems to stretch
What is is, you, that I can not forget.
Reminencing time reality has never allowed to last
In a dream I travel back into an hour
A lifetime that has passed.
There have been many in my life, my heart given to just a few.
In the midst of new company, I find myself searching time for you.
I think of you, though a lifetime has gone by
Why is it you to reveal hidden thoughts I've tried to set aside.
It's your love I see in the hearts of many lovers
From your haunting memory
Will I ever be free.

ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

"On The Outside Looking In ''

On the outside I am just a want you never saw as need.
Looking in on a memory once part of a timeless dream.
Looking into my thoughts once a part of you.
On the outside there are visions eyes shall never view.
On the outside it is so lonely looking in on a world not yet mine to own.
To your heart I am a stranger
searching for a place for needs to belong.
Sometimes I feel like a stranger
on the outside looking in
To the door of your heart I am knocking
Won't you please let me in.

SOMETIMES

SOMETIMES"




Sometimes as we feel hurt
our hearts seem to explode
can not carry the burden
sometimes pain is a heavy load
Sometimes eyes become a dam
over filling from the rain
Sometimes we must cry out
find strength to out live shame
Happiness we try to keep up
in fear we may fall earth bound
Sometimes in masquerade
smiles will hide a frown
Given time wounds shall heal
as we find another
and the need again to belong
Though stricken with grief
Sometimes we must forget
for life does go on.

THE NEED TO BELONG

THE NEED TO BELONG "

When you don't belong to anyone but yourself
Life can seem so cold without a tenderness
You choose not the fate of loneliness
yet you find yourself alone
With a dream and the need to belong
Time fills it's hours with such emptiness
Your face wears a frown but, there is a place for happiness
With hope of tomorrow strength is gained to survive today
Though with every minute that passes in your eyes are tears
you can not wipe away
When friends come to visit you pretend with a smile
Laughing and you joke but you still feel alone
even in the crowd
Not belonging to anyone but yourself
Life can feel so cold without a tenderness
You choose not the fate of loneliness
yet you find yourself alone
With a dream and
"The Need To Belong
."

LONELY SOLDIER

"LONELY SOLDIER"

Lonely Soldier are you aware of the journey

as you travel to that strange land..
Are you now afraid to claim life's title which labels you a man..
Are you lost within your thoughts as the time slowly grows on by
or are you afraid of the minute that may come when you may choose to die.
Lonely Soldier life has sent you off to a far land
and within the last hour you count the minutes
that remain for you to be a man.
A man that must hold the misery of life faithfully within his hands..
born to fight an unknown cause away off in a forgotten land.
On your own you must struggle with life's reasons and cause..
you are chained down by so many human laws.
The blood you shed are your tears.. Tears of a living war.
blood stained dreams now destroy your hope filled dreams.
Never knowing who may die.
you or will it be him.
Many nights you must watch below for your enemy.
Somehow Lonely Soldier others feel your hurt..
having no one to turn to. just a gun to see you through.
As you unwillingly gaze beyond
witnessing so many dying souls..
Are you in fear that this may be for you.. the end of the world...
Lonely Soldier not knowing what is in store.
alone you struggle in a forgotten land to fight
a never ending war.

Foolish Fly

Foolish Fly





Heart similar to the foolish fly
Caught up within a web
Deception the detour sign
Disguised and you are misled
Grasping stolen moments
Memories borrowed from time
When love deceives
It rose colors truth,
and eyes grow blind
Having a need to belong
Unable to view the forest from the trees
Deception entwines reality with a fantasy
Losing ability to decipher reasons from a lie
A victim of emotions
That allows a heart to fantasize
Entangled by the web of hunger
He is not searching for a mate
Foolish fly you are just diner

On the spider’s plate.

Against The Odds

Against The Odds


Threw the dice of emotion
Hey, lucky you
It paid off the price
What two as one could do
Winning was great, like to think
it could be more
Dice of chance, unlucky
Pain the only emotion endured
Went home, the loser
Cheaters never win
Lost it all in one day
Lovers
Strangers again.

Can’t Convince Myself

Can’t Convince Myself

Can’t convince myself, feelings are hard to shake
Reminiscing yesterday, habits are hard to break
Remembering when alone, fantasies
What two as one made true
Can’t convince myself, heart has never gotten over you
Walks in the park paint the same picture, there’s a beauty viewing the trees
Playing when the seasons grew into winter and snowflakes replaced the leaves
Loneliness, today disguised
Life without you, nothing but empty space
Can't convince myself that this new love, could ever take your place
Time has evolved into another day, the memories still linger there
Within this different time and hour ticks a moment,
heart still feels the need to care
There is so much reality lacks
Hard to imagine this dream is over and you are never coming back.
