I hope I placed this in the right room... Guess I'll find out, huh?

Ask Me My Secrets

Ask me for secrets
I’ll tell you no lies
See that girl, how she’s smiling?
When she’s alone she cries.

It’s her heart, it is broken
Cleaved in half,
Shattered in two
She’ll smile at everyone
But in her eyes
Pain shines through

She goes home to
A house that is empty
And bare.
She goes there to sleep—
Her only reason to
Be there

She likes to check out
The scene
As she walks down
The street
She isn’t pretty or
Graceful
And she trips over her
Own feet

Ask me my secrets
I’ll tell no lies
I’m the girl sitting,
Smiling
But when alone
My heart cries…

My heart is broken,
Cleaved in half,
And shattered in two
And I try so hard
To keep the pain
In my eyes
From shining through

My home is a house
Empty and bare
Sometimes I’d rather
Sleep outside
Than be alone when I’m there.

I like to walk down
The street
Drink in the colors
That distract my eyes.
I ignore the estranging
Stares and the glares
Of despise.

Ask me for my secrets
And in return I won’t lie.
My smile is a barrier
Though on the inside
I cry…

I haven't been on in a while to post anything here...sorry bout that...lol

Yes, you have it in the right room for sure!

Such a deep journey into that space called "Alone"

Glad to read you again and hope you
continue to stop by.

Can truly feel the ache in this
and can relate, especially when it comes
to crying on the inside... that is me
as well. I much enjoyed the read Jaimie.

Hello Jaimie

Such strong emotions and feelings evoked with your words, the facade we showe, and what bubbles beneath, and how we walk in the natural beauty of the streets, surrounded by the darkness of the pople we meet. Lonely and alone caught so vividly.

Max
