The Explanation

Madness

Skeletons are best left buried

Closets were made for something more

Past and present should not marry

Keep the peace tucked in the drawer

It’s like breathing under water

Swimming, freestyle, up the stream

As playfully wild as an otter

Finding a way to chase my dreams

Love and hate both walk a fine line

One of two sides of a coin

I’ve lost my words, a self made mime

Playing with hearts like they were toys

Vining like Tarzan in the jungle

Learn to take flight just like a dove

Of all the things that I have bungled

The last one standing for me, is love
