I WALK AWAY

i walk away
from the shame
i walk away
from the pain
i walk away
from the lies
i sever and break
all ties
i walk away.
i walk away
from the tears
i walk away
with no fear
i walk away
from the blame
i walk away.
i walk away
from the games
i walk away
my heart intact
i walk away
NO looking back
i walk away!

DOES IT

does it matter
whose lips
adorn you
whose arms
enfold you.
does it matter
whose mouth
speaks ill
of us
when the reality is
they just really 
want to be us.
does it matter
whose heart
beats with yours
whose dreams
are hidden
behind love's door
...does it really matter?
