Mask

We talk

And laugh

Joke around

Avoid the elephant

floating in the room

Its not but it is

But its not but it could be

But it won't be

Questions 

With no answers

Experiments

Never tried

How the past

Shields us from

taking a leap again

Can it be more

Can it be less

Can it just be

With no definitions but

Explanations

Wanting to tell you

To just leap and yell

Shout let my heart sing

But instead I hide for fear

Rejection

Not what I want to feel 

So I embrace the shadows 

Of my emotions 

And wear a mask 

As we chill 

......................Wonder if you ever notice
