masquerade You asked me to the masquerade and I willingly complied but I’m tired of wearing this dress for the feathers in my costume won’t stop licking my face and you cannot see the tears falling behind my mask - When you seethe price they pay I’m sure you’ll come and join the masquerade, you say but the price is too high for I don’t want to wear a mask with you, and I would only hope that I don’t have to. alex rand

sometimes the understanding Sometime the understanding Travels into the realms of the unknown All we can do is hope search dream Because we will never find. Sometimes the light is not enough. janet kuypers

like daggers I can’t think of anything else. like daggers speeding slicing the air the thoughts race through my mind. I can’t help but think of his stunning eyes his sensitive touch my weaklessness. How he’s torn my life in two. alex rand
