I see
I see your smile
One that hides so many secrets
Yet it's real
Your innocence
I see your eyes
Eyes that have seen a hundred things
They shine so blue
There's no sadness in them
I see your face
Just a child
Pure and
Without ruin
But then
Dark shadows loom overhead
Cover you
Embrace you into their vicious arms
Their darkness seeps into your skin
The innocence was fake
Never were your eyes so pure
You were already bad.
A devious smile that can act so sweet
Lying eyes shine with intent
The pure face of insincerity
A child, I was.
A lie.
I See

This is the time of coldness: love, hurry.
The wind of hours sweeps the streets, the roads.
The trees wait: but you don't have to wait
This is the time to live. The only one.
