A simple smile.

Is there really such a thing? 

Do we delude ourselves with this lie?

Thinking it's simple because we won't want to look at it in depth?

Sometimes.

Sometimes I want to look into those depths,

Dive head first and sacrifice myself to whatever lies beneath.

Breach the beyond and give myself wholly. 

I can't though.

I am scared.

I know what I might find and it terrifies me.

I will give my life, but not my soul

I will face death, but not life.

Not happiness.

Not you.
