a fool
i am
  to convince myself
  that the words that flowed
  like the sound of a perfect melody
  from your lips,
  were the words
  of an honest man.

I know you looked at me,
But I don't think you saw me.

I have had dreams
Of us
Leaving all these struggles behind
Just you and me
In our own place
Dancing and laughing
In our own world
Where we don’t have these ugly masks
Covering our love
There is no monster
In between us
Nor inside us
Only the love we have
Where you love me with all you have.

Some dreams come true.
Some are just the longings
Of the heart.
You are the longing of my heart.
Dreams about you
will never come true.

What if
You have been fighting
A losing battle
All along
What if
The silence
Within you
Is only
The calm
Before the strom
And
It is going to be a fight
You just cannot
Win
