WADE

railasunshine

I asked for this to happen

I tempted fate  

Flew too close to the sun

Played with fire     

 

I disguised truths

Faked my strength   

Pretended myself in  

Wore the mask that didn’t fit

 

Feelings come like waves

I got caught in the undertow   

I dove too deep

Lost my ability to breathe     

 

And I washed up   

Dazed but not drowned   

The whirlpool a memory  

And my feet on the ground    

 

I waded into the water   

Told myself I could swim  

I feigned a false reality  

And tried to coast on it     

 

I knew better all along  

Realized more than my eyes observed  

Love is a fickle fragmented friend  

And intuition is my lover
