See Through
You never said a word, just let the silence fill the dialogue
I got nothing in return, just emptied replies
I opened my heart to you, I showed you all my demons
The attic needed some light I said
But you didn’t say much. Didn’t realize that you were already sleeping away
I guess the dark scared that kid inside you,
You couldn’t get your hands dirty, to many skeletons to bury, to many demons to slay at night.
The deeper I dug, the farther you retreated
I wanted you to get to know the real me,
Show you a side of me, I didn’t know how to silence
But now I see that I was such a fool to think that you’d be different,
That you would see past these demons that control me,
It still hurts every time I think bout you, the blinding truths haunts me
Like a weight manacled to my feet,
That you couldn’t find it in your self to see….ME.
