A Superficial Victory

Oh, one moment, many moments ago
The unordinary grazed her without warning at all
She tried to simplify her own hearts secret
She was so unaware she could ever fall...

But, she did, and into the clouds of salvation
Where she thought she'd denied it beneath dull skies
She was about to reward herself for forgetting
Until she was standing spotlight to all those lies...

Thoughts once convincing drives herself now insane
Truly exposed, he can't see, so she walks as before
Being strong in her superficial victory to not feeling a thing
Her silver lining to pretending isn't quite as secure...

The urge becomes stronger, like the winds, about to collect in a storm
To even hold back what she's not supposed to be
For, she can taste something new that she shouldn't
On her way to gaining her superficial victory...

For the love of peace and for the peace of love
Can she hold what she dares long enough
Just until one sunrise salutes the next new dawn
Taking a little something real with her as she moves on...

Cause, she always ran but never with this much grace
For, she'll do the miles for just a glimpse of his face
She'll hide behind her self built walls he can't see
Closing her eyes and granting herself another false victory...

I like the closing here, we often like to pretend the victory is ours especially in winning romance..well done
