if only for a moment,
that feeling in our stomach,
it isnt fear, it isnt horror.

We can laugh,
if only for a moment,
think that the joke was funny,
it wasn't just trying to make them feel good about theirselves.

We can smile,
if only for a moment,
that it makes us feel happy,
it wasn't just putting a face on for them.

We can cry,
if only for a moment,
just so they can hold us,
just to make us feel as though they care.

We can listen,
if only for a moment,
to make us feel good,
to make us think were in love.

But we all know,
no matter what we do,
how hard we try,
how much we change,
how much we listen,
we can cry, we can laugh,we can smile, we can pretend.

Its all a joke, no point trying,
because we know,
Love does not exist. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 159 [topic] => 73 [informant] => katy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => abstract )
