Dark Secrets
Here we are, not knowing what to say
To each others' face, as we both are confused
Which face do we say it to?
The faces we show, or the ones we hide?
We put the niceties on display, because reality can turn the tide
The messed up part, it lives on, conflicts and fights
It shows the worst of us, and the best we did to survive
The only thing that matters is
What's black and what's white
What's wrong and what's right
What's real and what's ruse
What's the lie, and what's the truth
I laugh at how naïve I was
I thought of eyes as the sole form of truth
But your eyes, they hide a sinister secret
They hide all your sins, and the shame you had to deal with
They cry out for help,
Yet the cheer in them silences it all
They want to glimmer with tears,
Yet your gentle warmth dries it all
I curse myself at how stupid I was
I thought of your face as your true self
But even this face, doesn't give up the devil in your details
Upon that beautiful smile,
A tremendous pain lies beneath it
Whole yet hollowed on the inside,
Your silky skin sheaths it
It sheaths it all
Seems like, my words are lying too
My pen holds me back from revealing the truth
It's not your eyes that gave it away
Neither it was your face
It was the beating of a second heart
Inside you, Bedazzled and Hazed
It looks like Adam finally found the forbidden fruit
But it was too late to realize
He planted his seed within you
Kind of makes me think,
What good was I as a brother?
You grew up before me
And now you're about to be a mother
