I Can't Sleep

And I lay awake 
Day dreaming 
Only the day is night
And the world is still
But my eyes won't seem to close
My thoughts running wild
Letting you loose in my mind
As we wander together, carelessly 
Continuously...
You are
Stealing my breath from me 
Making my laughter echo 
And I smile unconsciously 
Thinking about you

Masks (Part 1) -- from early May '13

There comes a point
When you stop believing
In others
Who they claim to be
Who they present
And even who they attempt
And you realize
That so many are playing roles
Hiding behind masks
To cover up feelings
This mask 
To avoid getting hurt
And this mask 
To run away from the truth 

So many are putting on so many shows
Everyone's a jester 
And no one has a soul
I've divorced my desires to know 
The depths of others without their respect
If I can't know you without being fed lies
Then I guess we will never meet

I won't be a hypocrite
And judge
I once lied...
But I grew to know 
Lies just make you cold
I realized that if I wanted to be known
The truth, had to be
