See Me

So I just busted this out and I should probably proof it more but I'm venting to paper and it feels right to just post it. Its about the walls we build and the glamour's we hide behind.

A mirror or crystal

I reflect and refract

Those looking past

I will always distract

 

For no one knows me

And that is safer

Than baring my heart

With its strength of paper

 

For if you look past

This glimmer and gloss

And then turn away

I will be lost

 

Too late, too late

Now you have seen

These things I hid

Behind the screen

 

Will you leave

Or will you stay

You know me

Please don’t turn away

 

But there you go

With no explain

And then I know

My heart is stained

 

It’s ugly and dirty

The paper hopelessly torn

I don’t blame you

It should be scorned

 

I had hoped

you would stay

but I’ve always known

it’d end this way.
