Longing For Connection

I wear this mask of happiness, find joy from time to time.
Then the moments over, and I return to my empty shrine.
I once was filled with hope and endless dreams untold.
Ive become what you wanted, to you my heart was sold.
What you see is nothing more than a shell of your creation
All that I was searching for was your love and affection.
Longing to be touched, the passion burning bright
To feel again that rush empowering the night.
As I awake to this dream where nothings as it seems.
We walk along this road called life by each others side.
We paint this gorgeous picture while we tuck the pain inside.
My passion is to feel with every part of me
Touch holds the energy that sets my heart free.
I can feel it in my lips then it rushes to my toes.
The energy consumes me and everything I long to know.
But here we lie side by side with this wall we cant deny.
We avoid it ignore it yet the truth we can not hide.
I know what we had, I know what we can be.
I pray for the day that our past will set us free.
