Sun

My eyes can see what yours do not Not what they can't, but what will not Your eyes search for what you subconsciously sought A reason to flee, that your efforts were for nought An actor in camouflage, you slyly play your part The innocent man wronged, played for a fool from the start You stay in character past the day's easy light A comforting blanket in the cold dark night Your hand-sewn costume so easy to wear A perfect disguise but for one small tear When you see it you'll know you're not close to opaque Maybe step into your skin as you internally shake And open your real eyes to your heart and mine But under your blanket, the sun will never shine
