Double Dog Dare

Been a long time since I seen your face,

But I can still remember the time and place; 

I gazed into a broken mirror

when I looked into your eyes.

I saw the sun falling away,

Whenever our moon came out to play.

We stared into the dark

and shyly felt each other out.

But the reflecting pools of our eyes,

Mimicked mutual internal cries,

And we were frozen stiff

by the cold, hard truth. 

You can run, you can hide,

Turn away time after time,

Block your mind from the world;

Internally reside.

Turn around and look. 

Nobody’s chasing you!

Face your fears; open your eyes.

Live your truth; tell no more lies,

I double dog dare you.  

[not that] Marley Meme

And I’m sorry I liked that Marley meme,

And it showed up on your Facebook feed,

But do you really know,

The coward wasn’t you?

Maybe courage is just a pipe dream,

When you’re dealing with low self-esteems,

So who cares which one of us

let that cat out of the bag?

 

So, we hurt each other in the end,

Stretched the limitations of friends,

But for what it’s worth,

I just can’t forget you. 

You can dodge, you can weave,

Keep all those tricks up your sleeve,

Crawl into bed, cover up,

And pretend it’s a dream.

Get your head out of the sand,

No one’s watching you! 

Face your fears; open your eyes.

Live your truth; tell no more lies,

I double dog dare you. 

...I double dog dare you.
