As I awoke, I was welcomed by the vast sea
Laying on soft sand filled with rocks and debris
Whilst the sun and its rays are staring at
me
I could find a shade but then again I have no reason to flee

As the sun sets and the moon looms above me
And without a single source of light, I was left in the dark
Feeling the cold grip of the night, paying the terrible fee
Had I been more prepared when I decided to embark

As the night sets deeper, and the silence became deafening
I wonder if I will come out of this with my sanity intact
My eyes grew weary staring at the void, whilst my body is trembling
Not from the cold, but from the absence of contact

A foolish ploy I enact for escaping
Proclaimed that I have moved on
Knowing to myself that I’m in ruin
Crying over a couple of beers listening to sad songs

Showed everyone that I’m fine and sane
But to be honest, I’m enduring my bane
As the mouth can always deceive
The eyes can tell how a life is lived

There is no escaping from the truth
No matter how much I run and hide
Unconsciously, I go down the same route
Truth be told there’s no restraining these feelings inside

I feel stuck, a jack in a box
Pull my crank, I will appear
Not me, but rather one that is faux
A facade shown, to appease my peer

But if stuck, akin to schrodingers cat
Because true feelings i hide with a mask
Unknown if I’m doing well with pent up feelings
Feelings that got my sanity reeling

Cursed this arrow that impaled my soul
Mundane enough that I fell in a manhole
For I yearn to be romantic yet timid
So back in the box, stuck I’m winded

How can you shut up the heart
Like for an hour or two
Because every time I’m with you it starts Beating uncontrollably, making my mouth move

I tried shutting my mouth but to no avail, If I were to stay silent, I feel like I bore you But the more I talk, the more I feel the words I say becomes stale
Different topics spewed trying to push through

When the only thing I wanted to do was spend time with you
Treasure the moment of us two
With the little time we spend together
To know if I have a chance to go further

As I watch you create art
Exerting every effort to make it a masterpiece
Putting a part of yourself in every stroke
The world around me starts to cease

I get enveloped in your creativity
Everywhere is vibrant, painted with different colors
Grandiose formation of lines and shapes giving off positivity
Imaginativeness that will fascinate and wonder

As I get back to reality
Realizing theres already a finished masterpiece
What others tend to overlook and only I can see
Is the beauty of the artist
