Turn your head and close your eyes
You are in for painful surprise
Reality comes with such a pretty bow
All the truth I have been shown

Looking in the mirror,lying to what I see
Now awakening from the California dream

Farewell to the promised land
Where we had never been
Jealousy overcame and all the truth I've seen

Turn your head and close your mouth
Your voice screams of memories
rememberance of meaningful nights shared
From you I will tear
rememberance of lonely nights bared
Who thought I should care

Looking in your eyes, lying to you and me
Now awakening from the sweet dream that we called you and me

Very sad, Talia. Yes, sometimes you have to turn your head and walk away, when the bare truth of the dream reveals a lie.

Hi Talia  


I just read your message in your critique box...
I like that. I just write how I feel, too.
Actually, I don't know any other way to write.
I like the way you are writing what you feel
in this poem, even though it is sad...

"Love makes the world go around"
~~with love and hugs from Ethel~~

Well, hi.

I personally am fascinated with illusions and socially constructed dreams of life, which for the most part are not true. So this poem was interesting to me..

The place we're in after we discover the truth is such a peculiar space. The holes are shaped so oddly your not even sure how to refill them.

I enjoyed reading your poem and I appreciate that you just how you feel. It's honest and bare.

Shiva went on break now look at how much it's gonna take to make this place a space where we can breathe.
