it's that time of year again.

and tonight i have selected
one of my many masks that
i intend to wear if you intend
to show up on my doorstep
(i can almost hear you breathing there already)

you said never to lie
and i never have
never would
well
not really
but i'm thinking back to
kissingyoulovinghim
kissinghimlovingyou
and now i'm afraid i don't know what
else to do
but wait and dream and dream
and wait and perhaps someday
slip off this mask and come to a
decision that we can all live with
or atleast die trying to.
