Malissa

I’m okay,
If you’re okay.
I’ll smile,
Just to see you smile.
Let the happy days
Continue without grief,
Enjoy our presence
Your beautiful essence
Don’t let me taint you
My sweet.

In reality,
I’m not okay,
But don’t let me bother you.
Bask in the rays of sun
I’ll hide in my blues.
Cast aside my troubles
Only to please you.
What I want is a fantasy
What I need is a purging release.

Suffocating in my sorrows
Behind the scenes,
But the show must go on
Its the only way it will be complete.
Yet I want you to see me
Behind the curtains,
To hold my body
In your warm embrace.
Kiss away
These troublesome feelings
They’ll just keep repeating
But I’ll push you away...

Now back to the show,
Nothing to see back here
Letting the curtains close
Enjoy your peace.
