Tilting the Scales
John Samaras
Keep clinging on to the still image
For your memory will soon fail
Ignoring that love is a privilege
Taking your thumb off the scale
Trust in the words you've been given
For they are all that you have now
By warding off your dispositions
You leave yourself always without
The hardest of truths is so stubborn
It constantly tries to be found
One night while under the covers
You’ll wake to it's deafening sound
