i just want you too see me
i don't want you to be with me
they say actions speak louder than words
but words are powerful believe me
so be careful how you speak
i won't always have the answers
but i will always answer if you need to speak.

I passed a quiet hour today,
Watching people in a Café.
The studious girl with her homework spread,
Glancing sideways at the clique she'd rather join instead.
The middle-aged woman licking lips as she swiped,
Was it tinder, shoes or pastries on her notepad flying right?
The couple not speaking so engrossed in their phones,
Only acknowledging each other when it was time to go home.
The trio of yummy mummies, dressed carefully to ****,
Smudging lipstick on caramel lattes - politely competing to pay the bill.
I watched them all quietly,
Each tableau a one-act play.
On my last sip the curtain fell,
I rose and paid. Went my own way.

illusions of innocence
smoke and mirrors
to hide the truth of ones true sinning
often left wondering from the start to ending
is it real or is it just pretending?
show me what i want
I'll want what you show
your illusion of innocence
is never needed though

To afraid to close my eyes,
To afraid to sleep
To afraid to let my memories in
I'm afraid I'll get too deep

I don't know who i am
I don't know who you are
But can you save me before i go too far?
Far from safety far to far
I just want to rise up and express my heart
