Warm Eyes Soon Turn Cold Dark

We may live on the same island. Tonight we me even see the same clouds pass the moon under the stars. We may sit in a public house, alone and together. We may walk past each other all smiles. We may have a similar outlook. We may crave the same things. Lies and truths mix together when nice survival is the real thing. We are so different yet so similar. So similar but different in so many ways. The eyes just can’t hide the true nature. Then the nature’s here to stay. Our histories create a menace, a living presence shadowing our lives with our sins. Until we look we just can’t see. We never really know who each other is. Time plays with our minds and with time we know we can’t win. You may see me, I may see you. Our eyes may react to our smiles but the makeup soon wears pretty thin. Warm eyes soon turn cold dark. Our physicality is so different from what lives deep under the skin.
