Break out
Breathe
Let go

(Im)Perfect

In that perfect moment
She danced to his tunes
And dreamed his distant dreams

The setting sun blazed in her eyes
And her smile gave away secrets untold
Her face glowed with anticipation as he spoke

“Hey I’m sorry sweetheart; I won’t be here long, the anniversary’s here and I have to take her out shopping today”

In their troubled world
Clinging to the last bits of happiness was a way of life
And hunting down hope in blind alleys, a daily chore

“We have just about an hour; let’s take a walk in that park down the road”

Her reverie was at last interruped
And the legs gave away as she faltered
She never liked living on borrowed time

"...I'll make up to you soon, you know how much i tried avoiding today's plan, but she just wouldnt listen..."

The strains of guilt were distinct in his voice
And his face looked forlorn and weary
He was aging beyond his years and she noticed that

In that imperfect moment
She fought back her tears and smiled her best smile
Putting away all their distant dreams for now,she whispered in his ears

“An hour is a long time, let's hurry ,i dont want my birthday to end without spending time with you”

Tomorrow would be another day.

That didn’t matter.

Only now did.

Two faced

I let Black rule my thoughts
And Desire runs amok in my actions

I let Greed in through a tiny crevice
And wage a war with my Self Restraint

My Lies are unrestrained
Barter for my eloquent Truths

I have swam oceans of Unrest
And drowned in the eerie Calm

Captivity is my penance
For an immodest affair with Freedom

I conceal my gaping Wounds
With the balm of Careless abandon

The abandoned nest you see there is mine
I just borrowed your wings to fly
