Hands in the dark


Smiles all around, hearts joined to make a single sound. That's when it hits, the sudden fall in to the pits. Thoughts of hidden problems arise so a smile tries to mask inner cries Hands reaching out but are out matched by self doubt. Feeling like a thorn amongst roses, different emotions are tried on like poses. Smile, laugh, make jokes, exhausted by putting on this hoax Deeper the hole sinks the more life stinks But somehow a hand reaches and suddenly its warm like beaches Pulling me from the dark of my mind, again our hearts do bind.
