Brick

You front like you are hollow.
Emotionless.
All your crude language about women sickens me.

However, deep DEEP down 
Beneath the brick-casing that surrounds you, 
Feelings and fears exist. 

My intuition speaks to me
Because I can see your soul through those enticing greenish eyes
Which is the reason why I hold on to you so dear...

I can see through your seeming disguise.
Mr. I-just-want-to-be-a-guy
Mr. I-don't-care
Mr. I-am-not-going-to-tell-you-if-I-have-feelings-for-you-or-not
I can see through your lies.

If you could just feel what I am feeling
See what I see 
Or you could just be real with me.
As simple as that.

The brick that surrounds you is keeping a friendship from growing
A possible romance from developing 
And keeping me from showing you my sincerity. 

Do you know that I could possibly hold the key 
That unlocks the chains 
Surrounding the brick 
Incasing your heart
That I long to know?
