Don't Act As I Don't Know
Eyes all seem broken
For I can see there shame
And I can see the love
In the red fluorescent veins
For I can see the pigments
That seem to come and go
And I can see the anger
Of that I didn't know
And I can see the silence
A moment of a thought
Until ones brain gets busy
And nothings at a stop
And I can see the colors
And how the skies as blue
And I can see the darkness
The darkness that is you
And I can see the coating
Of one's chlorophyll like eyes
And I can see the sadness
How it is mint green that you cry
And I can can see the amber
When light shines through the hurt
And how all dark covers pain
But on me that never works
For I can see the frostbite
From a place that isn't cold
As your heart gets frozen over
Don't act as I don't know
