Secrets and Lies

Closets unopened 
To hide out the truth
Ignoring red flags 
Reliving our youth

Maturity vanishes
No pride has arrived
Fantasy mysterious
Yet a little contrived 

We knew from the start
Complicated lives
Chaotic when apart
Calmness a demise

No rational thinking 
Heads filled with lies
Caused by emotions
Feelings to arise

Then quietly the vibe
That was freely provided
Became too confusing
Long time decided

Not wanting to stop
But knowing we should 
Distance demanded 
Here comes the flood

Too many questions
And so many lies
Attempting a rebuild
With secrets still tied

Who knows the outcome
Is it worth our time
Friendship on offer 
Here starts another rhyme
