My Sun Your Sun
November 16, 2011
You mask yourself everyday,
All I do is paint the details,
The swirls, the lines, the stars,
You climb, up the mountain,
Faking achievement,
Taking the sun, taking the rays,
Showing all its yours,
Holding it in your grasp,
Hiding it in the shadows,
The mask hides your face,
But not your lies, the details I paint,
They run, they hide,
They see the lies,
Your grasp hides my warmth,
The warmth I seek,
The stares from them,
I climb the mountain,
The rays burst,
The details dance,
The sun breathes,
The warmth fills,
Your hand falls,
The mask breaks.
