Why Can't You See

Why Can't You See

A Poem by Matthew
"

Why don't they know?

"
You took them all away
Not for me, but for you
You lied to yourself, but I’ve seen your truth
Keep telling yourself you did for me, but why can’t you see...


Why can’t you see that you are mine... mine!
Why don’t you know that I’m... I’m yours!
You tell everyone in the world... that I’m you!
You lied to me again, for now, I’ve fell again


You took them all today
Not for me, but because of you
You lied to me, but I know the truth
Keep telling yourself you do it all for me, but I know you can see...


I know you can see that you are mine... mine!
I know you can see that I’m... I’m yours!
You tell everyone in the world... that you’re me!
You told me the truth for the first time, and for now, I’m lost again


Television litter the skies
In order to solve all the little ties that dissolve in time
You kill everyone in order to protect
You lie to everyone in order to object
No longer  free to come and go
No longer free to speak and think
You turned us all into your weapons
Just look at the world now!


Why can’t you see that you are mine... mine!
Why don’t you know that I’m... I’m yours!
You told everyone in the world... that I’m you!
You lied to the universe, for now, I’ll look away
If only to remember another day
