We enter into each other’s lives with the best

intentions it seems...but somewhere while

in there, we seem to get lost while chasing

the ghosts of our own selfish schemes...

We try our very best to keep it real, I’m sure

neither ever intends to lie...but while busy

invading the sanctity of each others souls…

our own evasive truths keep passing us by...

We get blinded by the dark desires...

that keep us lost in this sanctimonious land...

we get so wrapped up in our own petty wants...

so we take an immovable stand...

Then we leave each other as strangers...

even more so than when we first met...

and we'll place the blame on each other...

in our self serving frenzy to forget...

We'll choose to walk through dreams alone again...

we'll choose to hide our truth back on the shelf...

rather than to be together and open to the scrutiny  

of this masquerader... this one that we call our

SELF
