Complicated simplicity

How many secrets can one hide?

Yours are so well cloaked. I tried.

Waiting for each other…stretching this infinity

Trying as ever to outsmart the laws of gravity…

 

Fear can’t stop me…even if it makes me stumble…

Believing the edges of this world are starting to crumble…

But pain’s an illusion,

Astounding confusion…

Inspired by me and my demons…

Hopelessly denying all the reasons…

 

How many secrets can one hide?

Mine are so well cloaked. I know you tried.

 

I wish I told you what I need…but as ever… I’m clueless

Caught up in beauty, fear and distress

Find the truth if you must, when you do - come home.

Because this life’s a dream I cannot dream alone.

It's like you're a savant. How beautiful it is: you uncomplicate and untangle a "thing" an emotion that affects us all with an internal conversation - you are so talented.

It is sometimes crazy how many secrets we can hide. I know that we dwell in those secrets and are afraid of being judged by those secrets and not by the person we truly are. Great work!
