Guard
You never let down your guard.
Charming and polite; a poker-face behind the card.
Around you are walls of smiles and lies,
a fortress in which the true you hides.
I wonder if you are a little like me,
behind that mask of "always carefree".
I think there's more to you, for the little things you say,
quietly, in the evening, more truthfully than during day.
You're a little too perfect, to be fully real,
and I'm dying to know - what is your deal?
You keep declining, to join us and drink,
you must have your reasons, and that makes me think.
I won't drink either, since it's of no use
in forgetting about you - it just lights the fuse.
Though it would be easier, to just blame the liquor,
and the liquid courage, that makes it all quicker.
But there you go being a Good Influence on me,
my Silent Suffering, my Penance, my Ecstasy.
