Truth

tried it on
wasn't me though,
seeing through to the real,
not nearly shapely enough
to reveal temptation

so after stretching my imagination,
the fit blueing my mood,
I let it fall to the feet,
where it clung,
probably wanting
to remain a part of me

but...
feeling drunk with sadness
kicked it across the room
leaving a pile
of another "what if"
to walk over

M,
You don't mess around. You just go for the core. But I'd like to disrespectfully disagree with the first verse, okay?

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

shaking my head

I love this.

an analogy that can be applied to every facet of ourselves that we stubbornly refuse to actualize.

The only role I think that wouldn't suit you though, is that of an inauthentic.

You are one of those rare beauties, mo. You look good in damned near anything, and I suspect, you look good in nothing at all too.
