watching emotion fall like rain through your skin
so much unexplained from them
so many questions you'll never get the answers to
closure you'll never be around to see
i've seen you slumped against the wall
your back starts to ache and your heart drops through the floor
bruised body, pounding head...
you've always taken what they gave you
reasons like shattered glass all around you
a mine field for anyone who walks barefoot and honest to your side
as good a wall as any using brick, stone and mortar
i've seen you staring out at nothing
obsessed with the obsession of yourself
and who you used to be, will be, want to be
you always seemed to fall short in your own mind
no one sees you the way you do
with holographic glasses you paint your own portrait
hideous, deformed, worthless
smiles wash over you
but never seem to put the sparkle in your eye
or the luster in your hair
i've felt your eyes on me as i cut my hands and knees
crawling through the bloody slivers in your mind
silent and watching
never believing
you've never really seen anything
