What shows
how little
we know?
What can be is
oft far less than
what we expect.
What is now
has never been
what it was.

Underneath the obvious,
elements of our life
remain. There,
known only to ourselves.
Or so we think.
We all have our secrets, and
sins we keep hidden
behind our facade.
Time sacrificed, we think,
our past a part of all
we have known.
The knowing is what hurts.
