Staring, not seeing
Hearing, not listening
Speaking, not thinking
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Why can't you of all people see through the mask i wear?

But with a fake smile ironed on my face
Attepting to destroy the wrinkles of life
That show their faces in the darkness of my mind...

We sit on the cool floor of the forest,
With owls amidst our presence-
Only to be saved by the peaceful stillness of the nature surrounding us.
The forest as black as the night itself, the only light being the barely visible moon above.

To listen all you must do is put it's shell to your ear-
Whoosh, swirl, boom.

Waiting for the other to speak.
It's because we wait that neither of our voices are heard.
Both of us stand alone-
Even if they're walking with the crowd.
Like an empty swing, swaying in the breeze,
We wait for someone to accompany us.

Forever stuck upon a waveless sea.
Free to fly, imagine, dream-
To live in a world such as this-
Where nightmares, troubles, and fears whisk far beyond the horizon at the mear thought.
What a terrible world that would be.
For without speed bumps,
How could we truly value the things that we already have?
