We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?

Didn't want a battle,
Yet you declared war,
Each knock you gave me made me strong
I love how we
tease each other with
tantalizing words
throughout the day;
