"Do you believe in Magic?" I asked him. He replied, "More than I believe in my very own existence."

Magic
Isn't it funny.. how sometimes the most intimate thoughts.. can only be shared with the strangest of strangers?

It’s the happiest people That are often the saddest It’s in the quietest places Our screams are the loudest It’s on the sunniest days The dark depression rolls in It’s in the deepest waters We find out we can’t swim It’s from the ones we love most We try our best to hide And it’s through the fakest smiles We tell white little lies No matter how hard I continue to try I can never repress The self-loathing inside

The act
Cascading colors Like paint on a canvas Dripping, melting, and morphing In the caress of the cool evening breeze, I lie Drinking in the summer sky I watch as the warm reds, oranges, and yellows fade Cooler shades slowly sneaking in from behind Royal purples, midnight blues Banishing the warmth from the realm of night Taking with them, celestial light Darkness fighting desperately; seeking to forever dominate Morning light breaking through the black chains of despair Angelic white light crashing through the nighttime terrors Golden sunshine lending hope to the world once more Watching blue skies, while black birds soar Colors Swirling through the skies Always out of reach The world so much bigger than I Made obvious by the colors of the sky

Cascading Colors
He's sound asleep But I am wide awake The tighter his embrace the more lonely I become Trying to wipe away the tears before the salty, fat drops reach his skin revealing my darkest secrets Revealing the loneliness that consumes me The loneliness that haunts me The loneliness that fails to be conquered... even by the tenderness in his eyes Revealing the loneliness... that will lead to my demise

the mind plays tricks at night
Why, it’s a masquerade my dear Everyone here knows You’re a fool to pretend differently Now show some control They’ll torture you They’ll tease you They won’t understand Now come dear darling, please show some control Why my dear, don’t be silly Stop being yourself Put that mask on your face And show some control Look at them dance How they fall into step The dance is continuous We must show control Like gears and like cogs Watch how they move How well they’ve been trained They all show control There’s no room to be different Not in this dance For if you make a wild move There will be no control So my darling, I plead Put that mask back on For if they know you are different There will be no control

The Masquerade
The sun shone so brightly it washed out the sparkle in her eyes or maybe I just couldn’t bring myself to look As I was telling her goodbye You see, I felt for her so lovingly My heart breaking into two Tears softly trickling down my face Hoping she didn’t have a clue I gave her a quick embrace Then turned around and walked away It was hard, but I didn’t look back Kept my eyes forward, praying to make it through this day She had held my heart with an iron grip I could hardly breathe But to her I was as replaceable As a daisy on a summer’s eve I wish I could mean more to her But it’s always been this way Nothing more than a friend to the girl I love Never able to make her stay She boarded the train to London Adventure in her soul I used to smile at the sound of her laughter Now everything seems dull Gray skies, gray sea, gray sidewalk The train rumbles down the track I ignore the stares of strangers I so desperately want her back Why is it, love has to be this way That sometimes it’s not returned To fall in love with someone so deeply For you my broken heart will always yearn I hope you find your happiness As I will continue to search too For someone who shines as brightly As brightly as my girl called, Lou <3
