I realized just today
that we can never be real
that we must stay
imaginary
for inside my head there are no problems
within us
or in
our imaginary world
I only hear our laughter, see our smiles
in place of anger and tears
inside my head I'm never scared
for you or me, you and me
everything is flawless
we talk, and then we see
the truth
each other
everything clear
and in the real world, well
there are sharp edges on which we will trip
knives that we will create and use to cut ourselves
practicalities
of my fear and shame
things that would never exist inside my head
so thus, with a heavy heart
I must keep us imaginary
so that we
can
never
be
real
