Don’t look at me
Like you don’t know
And claim you never saw
Smile that smile
Of futures sweet
And believe as if it’s true.
Don’t use your heart
As a pacifist sword
To cut and hide the pain
Sear the truth
You claim as lie
And walk into the light.
Don’t look at me
With shallow eyes
And paint a picture bright
Hush the world
That grows outside
That’ll choke your sightless soul.
Don’t gaze at me
With empty eyes
That only see your truth
And claim you
Never saw beyond
These things – you never asked.

It takes me a while to catch up on my reading. It is a pleasure to read your work. You have a lot of wonderful writing here Chris.
Thank you very much for both your comments and your time. Your praise really means a lot coming from someone who writes as well as you do. Many thanks.
I thought I would know what to say this time, but I think I just feel and no words are necessary…
Thank you for sharing
Take Care….You Matter…

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a comment, I really do appreciate it. I’m really pleased that this moved you – I agree, sometimes this is enough.
( I figured out why I wasn’t getting notifications, I only clicked the top follow, not the leftsided one, sometimes technology is way to complicated for this simple mind LOLs)
Believe me, you’re not the only one – I’ve even un-followed people by mistake before now! Hope you’ll find more you enjoy. Take care, Chris.
