I hide behind a smile
Close my eyes
Sing along while
My heart silently cries

Paint my face to deceive
Stand tall, shoulders back
Make the world around me believe
That I'm right on track

Nothing will get me down
I can't let that happen now
You won't catch me with a frown
It's not something I'll allow

I gotta keep up the facade
Never let anyone see
With time I slowly begin to fade
Into someone other than me

It's okay though
I don't really care
No one needs to know
I'm no longer there

Over the moon
And back again
I'm not who I was
Way back when

Past the stars
Into the galaxy
I wish I could
Have you with me

Late in the night
When Time stands still
To hold you close
To know how you feel

The Crickets chirp
Music to my ears
I want your love
To soothe your fears

When Silence sets in
And I hear your heart beat
The sound of you breathing
A single kiss turns up the heat

Feel the wind as it blows
The chill of the air
Still, we lay together
My hands in your hair

The night wears on
Just you and I
Together we stay
Til the sun lights the sky

I hide within my dreams
Learned to stifle my screams
Showing no sign of pain
Just this side of going insane

Not allowed to show my fears
Washing away evidence of tears
Sheltering myself from the agony
Already kowing what's coming for me

I do not dare to reveal
The emotions I barely conceal
Terrified, mortified by it all
Disgusted I let myself fall

I desire things I should not
Fear I will lose what little I've got
Shot down, pushed around
Wounded, no hope to be found

Walls built high and wide
No way to get inside
Trying to shut it all away
No more prayers left to pray

I don't know what to do
I hide from the truth
If I can suppress what I feel
Maybe it won't be real

Passion hidden within
Lust, the ultimate sin
Give to me what I desire
Bare yourself to me, I'll never tire

Open your soul to me
Allow yourself to be free
Don't hide, the truth unseen
Never allow another to intervene

Why deny the fires intensity 
Your souls desire lies in me
Reveal the secret of your subconscious
Don't give up on the possibility of us

You pretend to not know
Subdue what you want to show
Alleviate the pressure the builds
The courage your love wields

Don't pass away into shadow
Never allow me to go
Bathe me in your warm embrace
Allow me to gaze into that place

The bliss, forgetful and innocent
Every word spoken, the gentle intent
Guide my heart, show the way
When words fail, nothing to say

I place my lips on yours, so soft
My spirit ignited, it held me aloft
I open my eyes, it was a dream so sweet
There you stand, finally we meet

Another Original work from October. Hope you enjoy it.

*******************************NOTE**********************************

It's been so long since I've been on a computer let alone Fubar. This is a poem I wrote at the beginning of last month. Just wanted to share something new.

As I stand in the waters of the sea
The waves carry with it the breeze
Bodies so vast, larger than you and me
Knocking one down with such ease

The taste of it too salty for my tongue
The view priceless and inspiring
Wondrous songs still left unsung
The inspiration it will often bring

Creatures both big and small
Swarm the sea, tending to the need
If you look you can see it all
The blue, the green and all the sea weed

Cool air brushes past, through the cliff
The sun sets, what a sight to see
The day is nearly over, I'm stiff
But there is no place I'd rather be

Entranced by the scenes set before me
The Beauty of the oceans reach
I'd give anything just to see
The wonder of that lovely beach

I just want to cry
You have no idea why
Telling me it's not true
You may not see it, but I do

You stare at other girls
The truth now unfurls
I saw you look that way
When I had something to say

That picture I went to delete
You said no, I feel so incomplete
Like I wasn't good enough for you
I'll never be no matter what I do

I know that's not how it really is, I can see
That no matter what you will always want me
It's human nature for you too look around
I shouldn't worry, I shouldn't make a sound

Is it the way I look, or what I say
That causes you to turn and look away
Can it be they have something I don't
Just say something because I won't

I don't know what to think
My heart shatters, the shards sink
I'm nothing compared to the others there
But give me a sign, let me know you care
