Brave Face

About having a mask 2 protect ur heart 4 when u love someone but ur pride is on the line.

You’re the kindred that was meant
to take my heart and break it.
You’re the one that left me wanting
without me ever knowing what I want.
I’ve watched you make the steps you take
and willingly help you along the way.
You’re the seed shoved in my soul.
The weed I beg to never let go.
I kiss the cheek of the wandering moon
as you dance beyond grasp, a dream from me.
So many others have “known” you, too.
What am I but another love-struck whore?
I nurture the unwelcome blossom within,
though I care too much to hold you too close.
Your journeys, your conquests burn in my mind
but like a good friend, I’ll stick by your side.
