No One Can Ever Know

No one can ever know What truly lies within We all put on our faces From where and whence We’ve been. No one can ever know The challenges that we’ve faced The fears, the glories The victories The times that we’ve lost face. No one can ever know The love that’s in our heart And who we’ve loved And who has loved us back And what affairs have been The things that have kept lovers far apart The facts that have kept love hidden The plain and simple circumstances of love that was forbidden. No one can ever know What’s really on our minds Are we in the here and present Or are we thinking back in time? No one can ever know which faith that we hold on too who and what we believe in in times of hardship and true despair that which it is that we cling to. No one can ever know What really lies in the next place When the calm of our last breath Lie’s frozen on our face. No one can ever know So many things one can only try to know oneself That is the best that one can hope That one can get to truly know The face that’s in the mirror. The only way to cope.
