Behind the Curtain

A facade of love 
so it appears 
Heart hidden away 
timeliest of fears
Words spoken 
tear us apart
Matters of the mind
 not of the heart
Souls worth holding
 can wear us down
 Small talk chatter
one horse town
Stay or go 
The question at hand
Am I a mouse 
merely a man
Keep on going
 regardless of the end 
A heart filled with love 
easy to mend
With each days passing
 I'll stay the path
Unweilding anger
 relentless wrath
Steadfast poise
 omnipotent reprise
The truth my enemy
The past only lies
