WHISPERS OF THE MIND

I KNOW YOU ARE READY TO CONFESS 
BUT THIS TIME, PLEASE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, 
FIRST GLANCE, FIRST CONVERSATION, FIRST SMILE,
AND YOU ARE ALREADY ACTING 
LIKE A GIDDY LITTLE CHILD.

ITS JUST A FEELING OF ACCEPTANCE 
DONT MISTAKE IT FOR LOVE AGAIN 
REFLECT ON YOUR PAST HURTS, 
REMEMBER THE LINGERING PAIN.

JUST A FEW MINUTES OF LAUGHTER 
WITH SOMEONE YOU JUST MET
SHARING THE STAINS OF YOUR PAST
ON THE CANVAS OF YOUR LIFE
HEARING A SYMPATHETIC VOICE 
ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE.

DONT BE CHARMED, OR FOOLED 
BY THE COMPLIMENTARY GAS
THE DATING PERIOD IS A LIE, 
AND THE FLUFFY CLOUDS 
WILL NOT LAST.

I AM THE PROCTOR OF YOUR HEART,
THE NAVIGATOR,
THAT KEEPS YOUR LIFE IN LINE,
I AM THE BEST FRIEND YOU WILL EVER HAVE,
SO LISTEN, TO THE WHISPERS 
OF YOUR MIND.

WILFORD BARKER.
