Two Faces

My message lies not in the sentence
If you learn to read between the lines
You will hear stories in my silence
My life is not about roses and wines

I'm happy on poetrysoup but sad in real life
My face smiles while I weep with my heart
A good girlfriend just became a bad wife
Maybe it is time to make a fresh start

Peter Dome Date: 7/11/2014 6:57:00 AM Boy I can really relate to this gem of a poem. most people aren't happy with their life. They lose themselves in electronic devises, face book and games, to escape reality. I am a depressive, poetry soup is my escape my world and my life, I don't have much else.without it I dread to think. A very good thought provoking poem. hope life will bring you some solace, and piece of mind soon. best wishes. Pete. Login to Reply John Pen Date: 7/11/2014 9:52:00 AM Thanks for stopping by
