when i look at you
i see life perfect
perfectly fine
everything in line

but what boils
just beneath the surface
when you can no longer hide
and all this comes to light

aparently
you knew how to work it
winking of the eye
telling of the lies

now look at this
pulling back the curtain
took a major dive
went right off the side

goodbye kiss
to your life's lost purpose
try with all your might
still ran out of time
I know a couple (or at least thought I did) whose life seemed perfect, a few months ago she attempted suicide with a gun so she was serious. She did survive with issues. He's now on his death bed with liver and kidney failure from years of alcohol abuse. (You never do know what goes on behind closed doors)
