it seemed to ease the pain
at dancefloor pumping volume
moving and posing
while juxtaposing
unclothing
luscious strangers
far beyond grasp
it seemed to ease once again
upon a stage
beneath the lights
with someone elses words
finding a way to cope without love
the love denied
now I\'m grown tired
of saving face
and I stumble to fall
running away from myself into poetry
romancing pictures of a life i wanted to be
and ending here with
the me i\'d been disguising
afraid i couldn\'t be loved
still standing
learning to love life itself
hanging on by a thread
