I wonder if
Behind the smiles
Pleasantries and whatnot
It’s all just an act
Their love is just words
Ash swirling on the wind
A strong color
Faded in the harsh sunlight
–
Ease will not be coming
Only an embrace of reality
A real hard pill to swallow
But a panacea when ingested
One’s own applause the only to be heard
One’s one care the only to be had
The rest is just background static
Playing on an unwatched tv
In a waiting room somewhere boring
