Imagination

You are in my head,
But you are not real
Watching everything I do,
What I think and touch and feel

Curling up next to me
A ghostly figure in the night
Arms wrapped around me
Holding me tight

Phantom hands holding fast
My head bowed low
Tears flowing freely
Knowing what I know

You share in my pain
Helping me to heal
But you are only in my head
I wish that you were real

Façade

Façade

We choose the face we show the world

And lose our grace as truth is hurled

Flung far and wide as others take

All our lives we live as fake

The price of love is what you pay

As all your friends you will betray

So we give up goodness sake

As our lives we live as fake

In the end the lie is real

As we forget how others feel

Then another heart will break

As all our lives we live as fake

Broken Glass

Shattered reflections

In broken glass

Just can’t bear to see

What is real, what is false?

Face lined with pain

Sorrow and heartache

Borrowing trouble

Or the smiling visage

Presenting to the world

Carefree and Nar-do-well

The truth is in the middle somewhere

But could true medium exist

When joy and sorrow war?

Perhaps Viviane meant the sword

To destroy this world of seeming

Feint copies, automatons

Merely wound up, marching along
