A busy nighttime street
And a quiet high rise apartment
A cup of tea and a book
Intrumental music in the background
Some fairy lights
The ambiance is just right
So you let the music and the words drown out
Drown out the voices in your heart
You let them suffocate the painful past
You go out and you smile
Carrying a secret, all this while
You talk about the past as if its a long-gone chapter
Hoping they believe you, not knowing the extent of the disaster
So you put on a show and shine for the world
Deep down, your heart only mutters the same words
So go on faking my dear,
Until one day, it doesn’t hurt as much
For the world is filled
With love, heartbreak, betrayals and such.
