Loving You Hating Me
by Richard Maxfield
2-5-2000

I keep a smile to hide the tears
an act of bravery to cover my fears
a mask of happiness to disguise the frown
playing up when I’m really down
I stay awake because I cant sleep
throw away all, I cant keep
hold tight as things slip away
put off tomorrow, live for today
I  dream, to escape reality
close my eyes that I might see
protect my heart to conceal  the hole
acting young ,thou I feel old
standing strong, when I should flee
loving you, hating me
