I Want You To Know

I want you to know
This isn't a song
Nor a story of folklore
It's not a fake
It's not made up
These words drip from sadness 
Unto thy cheek
Of porcelain skin
Cracking from ages of false love
And lies
You look into my eyes
And what do you see?
A life wasted
By meaningless nothing
They say
You can see a persons soul
If you look into their eyes
But can you see mine?
