Slipping Away I could slip away and not be noticed gone, except for the need to patch a tear, or wash the worn, or feed the empty. I could be non-existent to your eyes, a sheerness, even if and maybe when. I could disappear behind this smile, a sadness held beyond the surface, a heart wanting to be let in, to share. When will it reach the end, when I can't turn back and the s.o.s leaves me lost to you, drowning in my own desires, slipping away beyond reach... Perhaps it's all in my mind my eyes wanting to see you there, a mirage of want, slipping away into distortions, layering me until I am too thickly hidden behind something so complex and yet so simple... as love. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

I could disappear behind this smile, a sadness held beyond the surface, a heart wanting to be let in, to share. ------------------------------------- I know this feeling all to much. Love is so complex at times and it can be so simple as well. |
