I see you

Do you believe you can conceal yourself under the fabric of that smile,

Woven with laughter,

This shroud of jest?

You can’t hide from me

Your heart shines brightly illuminating the dark corners of my soul

Oh my dear beacon,

I see you

You may have others fooled

Eyes closed,

Senses stunted,

Living in blissful ignorance

But I am no fool

My fingers caress your scars

Questioning your wounds

You anxiously retreat into the tall grass

My lips longing for yours whisper

You can’t hide from me

I see you
