and i make a guise
to cover your eyes
and i hide myself
in the pages of books
stripping away
emotions delay
you have no idea
of the inside
the rippling effect
feeling in my chest
stomach jumps at thoughts
the sequence of tired knots
forget the face
the outline stays the same
subject to noise
its not my choice
because the human mind races
at out of control paces
if i seem at all sad
know i am and leave it at that
but i will say my smile is true
because within my heart grows new
i am happy for you
don't forget, the pain i knew
it's still moving on
just know soon it will be gone
but again the flesh
sighs as it recollects
i really don't mind
it helps pass the time
yet i grasp on air
when someone else is there
i can hold on to
Jesus it's You
