a kiss

a kiss is a clue to the heart

a window that lets light impart

or hides you away in

the dark

the dark can consume and it will

your will an enemy still

and it will be forever until

you kiss and tell

me what you’re thinking

kiss and tell

tell me what you believe

are you brave enough

have faith enough

to stay...

truth

truth is the one thing we trust

worthy of all that we must

give up to gain to matter what

what if the road’s not paved with ease

what if storms are all you see

will you kiss and leave

or stay and still believe

don’t trade your inheritance

for a moments worth of pleasure

it only adds to emptiness

a world of worthless treasure
