Plain to See

I know the answer, it is plain to see
Still I am unable to let it be
I want to make this inexplicably
Something lingering, mindlessly, hurting

Is there something perhaps that I don’t know?
Drowning in wisdom, believing hope floats
Listening to fairy tales poached from our ghosts
Fully awake yet forever dreaming

A path well-travelled, heed warnings are clear
My tattered heart for certain will not fare
Fate is delivered on wings of my tears
Still you do beckon, I hear you calling

Daylight unveils your truth, laying to bare
Night reveals darkness in every player
Pretending that I no longer do care
Outside she smiles, inside she is weeping
