It's not simple to lay it all out
Even the reflection in the mirror
Never displays the marks the tears curve on the cheeks
A beautiful comforting line
Is all we build to hide underneath
Promises are just weapons
To make hearts bow to commands
Like Leaves
We are just holding on to the earth
Till we are weak and unable to firmly grip
Feelings are turned to weapons
Love, now a tool to used weaken and conquer
Like cancer slowly eating up it's way from deep within
We strive to lft all we have at the top on mountains
Forgetting gravity that pulls us deeper to nothing
Our forcus, to live wealthy
Forgetting to smile, laugh and be free for a moment
