the true life

we hear
what we want to hear.
see what we want
to believe.
we selectively live
our lives,
half in shadow, half
in sunlight.
it's easier that way
at times,
to not question what's
right,
what's wrong.
I did it for so long.
we go a little deaf,
a little blind,
when two souls, become
entwined.
but at some point,
you
have to live that true
life
and move on.
