live from the heart

if i was just me
and you were just you
do you think we would last
more than a minute or two
if i tossed my mask
and you lost your disguise
would you stay long enough
to see the pain in my eyes
if these walls between us
suddenly crashed down
would you have the strength
to hang around
or would you leave
once you saw my real face
and find some other actor
to take my place
some other liar
with a thin-skinned mask
another bed warmer
that will never last
maybe if we all stopped trying
to be someone else
and try one last time
to just be ourselves
maybe the whole system
would slowly fall apart
and maybe we'd remember how
to live from the heart

This is utterly gorgeous. I had to read it twice. A nice change from your usual style. Don't be embarrassed you wrote it. It's excellent.
