the wild flower in a field of daisies

 

you’re brave, you smile.
a smile that masks everything,
a smile so real, it seems like there’s no paddling
beneath that calm surface
but still waters run deep
and
till we lay our heads on strawberry fields
to bask in the warm sunshine
living like there’s no tomorrow
living like today’s your last
living like ever moment counts
living like you don’t have a pass

what’s love when you ain’t got a lifetime
what’s there for you to lose
when you’ve lost it all

i get these weird tingly feelings,
every time i see couples holding hands
part of me wishes to be a part of that cast
part of me will never understand
the things beyond comprehension
the things beyond anyone’s control
the reasons to justify actions
the story never told

so you fight, for what’s left to be fought
yet you find yourself back at the start of the line
cashing the wind and caching the leaves of autumn
that glimmer of hope that helps us sleep at night
thinking there’s sunshine after rain tomorrow,
perhaps the storm has yet to approach
maybe it is already gone
the champagne’s popped,
bubbly to go around
