There's no truth here,
Except what peers through the veil.
And even then, all you see is translucence.
The smile on your face,
Along with the sarcastic remark.
Reassuring my superficial expectations.
Funny even though we all know,
What really lies behind.
Those forcibly gleaming eyes.
The sea of shallow desires,
And the desire,to be more.
Desperately floating above.
The weight of the world,
Pinning you to your bed.
Gravitating ever closer.
To the sleep you really need...
