Reality Sings

I walk through each day in a daze on high
And, ignore my heart and all that it holds
Sometimes I create a tiny place only I can fit in
And, dismiss any thoughts of you a moment unfolds...

I do this to survive my days I'm forced to live through
When I know one more tomorrow lies on ahead
As hard as I try there's always a part of you that seeps in
And, I stand in untruth that I'm ok in my words unsaid...

Silence leaves an impression that one flies only with the best
And, that good fortune lies upon my brave numb wings
Just when I think I've flown an angels pace
Then, oh my God reality sings...

Cause I never forget what you are about
I just try to live with what I can't have
And, without you nothing matters in this so broken world
So, I just pretend this smile is real until you come back...

Reality sings in a such a so broken sound
It falls on me as hard as the November rain
I should know better to think I could put this heart on hold
But, I just don't know how to look at this world the same...

So, it's only moments I make it carefree at last
The rest of the time I still feel what your absence brings
So, understand, sweet one, if I appear I walk with grace
For I don't, never will, as long as reality sings...

The songs of reality are always there whether it is the tune we want to hear or not.  No escaping it most times.  This was a wonderful verse of powerful rhyme and the flow was a gift indeed.  Very much enjoyed.

Such a sad song was played through your words and I hope a special love comes your way and fills your word with the love and happiness you deserve.  Take care......Sue
