What happens now, when I fall?
You said you would catch me
But now I see clearly
This claim was conditionally
Made.

It's alright, I suppose.
I can hide away my fears
And try to suppress my tears
Replace them with false cheers
Of joy.

Is it this feeling that unendingly nags?
Each day that passes
I see different facets
Of the ignorant masses
And sigh.

You can tear but you are so wrong.
I will stay and I will stand strong.
At least I will appear that way.

I can cover my regret.
But I cannot soon forget.
I just hide the memories in the day
light.

In the daylight.
In the daylight.

In the daylight it's easy to pretend.
That everything is okay --
That it's all going my way.
But the darkness will betray
Truth.

Oh please.
My life is blessed and has been since dawn.
But this hole detracts from moving on.
I need my loose ends tied up and repaired.
This silence and ice isn't fair.

In the daylight.
In the daylight.

This frigid ice glitters with a thousand different ribbons of rainbows and gold.

In the daylight.
In the daylight.

This hole seems no more than a bleak bitter trap to behold.
But it's deeper in twilight.
It's darker in the night.
I'm afraid.

That was really good. I like the rhyming in the beginning and mid sections the most. It is excellent work =]

Never forget how special this site is: the older I get, the more I realize how many lonely writers there are who have only family and maybe some friends to read their works. The fact we get free critique, nightly writing pads, free contests and unlimited interaction at *no cost* with people genuinely wanting to help, can not be overstated or overrated
