       I’m fine...thank you...

I'm fine...thank you

I dwell in bizarre pasts,
speaking to myself.
I sense the times
unwinding in a pace that pricks.
There is that memory box in my aching mind
and my heart that pounds
reminding me I'm alive.
While you can't remember to ask,
I can't seem to forget.
I'm fine...
thank you.

I need a moment of truth
that senses belonging.
I see the fabrication to last eternally.
Enigmatically time is ticking;
I can't see it again.
Out of sight;
still in the heart
You forgot to remember;
I must remember to forget.
I'm fine...
thank you.

Like tides that wash the shores,
your brilliant disguise erases recollection.
A sigh of relief
is what we've become.
Oblivious, you prevail.
I'm fine...
I have you to thank.

Avanti this  was great not only know what it means to live in lies but sometimes feel perhaps the biggest lie of all is me

Do you care what is thought by others about you
If this day is all that is promised to you
Do you live for the present, the future the past...

Avanti this is my favourite you've written too!!  You dedicated this to many too, I see.
It is harrowing, sickening and all the other bad things to live with lies or pretense.
Some......never learn.  Bravo this was truly wonderful work, well thought out and expressed!

Wonderful Avanti

Full of feeling and depth.  I love this one, I can relate so well.  Keep up the great work.

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
