Pretend

We think the only road there is, is the one in front of us

We pick so many fights and make such a fuss

We never dare look down the other beaten path

Always afraid theres going to be another bloodbath

We always try to hide from reality

Yet we always face some sort of technicality

Why cant we go back to our younger days

When we used to sit and play in the suns bright rays

We think the only road is where we're headed for

But theres so much in life we need and more

The path we chose is forever widening

We always have to choose where we are siding

But it was never really that much of a choice

We'll never be those wide eyed kids who fell in love agian

We'll never be those kids who run through the empty glen

Love is endlessly surprising, to precious to be maimed

Love is always going to run wild, to crazy to be tamed

Love in our hearts as well as in our eyes

Some day I hope you come to realize

Everyday we always seem to fall in love again

Our love can never seem to end

Theres no need to Pretend

So Trust Me Now

This poem made me smile, it is really sweet and pretty. Considering how melancholicly you write this is a bit of a suprise with the optimism. But even then, there is a hint of a sad longing for old times. There are so many roads to take, all leading to different destinations. Why follow the crowd when you can have it follow you? The ignorant follow while the intelligent lead. I guess that says a lot about those who waste money and time towards "fitting in and following someone else's lead". Good write, another favorite. You are an excellent writer.

Seems a light, yet perceptive work filled with love and loss.

I luv it.
