I Look Away

How powerful are the actions of our heart? Our tongue forms the words that tear others apart. Deeper into the darkness of hate, head down, behind locked gate. Feet shuffle not lifting up, hands dirty with empty cup. Truth shines on the sorrows of past, how long will the coldness last? I look away… 3D animations look so real, pull me in; tell me what’s the deal? Let me guide another’s life, I got the answers, cut like a knife. Eyes hazed over hiding the truth, great big smile at the kissing booth! The darkness shines brightest at this time of day, I thought I had the answers; hear what I say? I look away… I retreat to the solitude of my own little world, hiding and sulking in a life unfurled. Deep beneath the layers like blankets in winter, hiding the hand with finger and splinter. Don’t reach out if your not going to stay, don’t even look just turn and walk away. I wont raise my face or even show my eyes, I’m tired of smiling into the face of lies… I look away…
