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. #RightWhereMyHeartIs
