Mask
Justin Green Feb 2011
My mask is slowly crumbling
          To the faint philosophy of your dreams
          I cry with pain but hide my tears with a smile
          My soul bleeds ever so faintly with no sign of weakness
          I weaken by the day, die by the night
          I try to confess my sins but in the end it all falls away
          A gloomily fate rests in my palms with the knife in my heart
          As my life comes  my mask will shred but hold with love          
          But my mask can't hide my life anymore.

Do I pursue?
Justin Green Feb 2011
A sudden warmth runs slowly through,
The moisture from the morning dew.
A beautiful thought I must pursue.

But, In the past I have tried to grasp,
A pretty thought like dewy grass,
and in the end, I hadn't one friend.
Feelings, time could not mend.

All because of my greedy ways,
The pursuit of happiness in a dreamy daze.
To avoid the pain I mustn't pursue,
Happiness, love or the morning dew.

So, Dare I pursue something as beautiful as you?

— The End —
