UNCOVERED EYES

DESPAIR, REGRETS
FEELING BETRAYED
SELF PERSECUTION
FOR I SAW AND BROUGHT ON
MY OWN CRUCIFIXION
THAT WHICH I'VE REENACTED
MANY A TIME IN LONG AGO
AND NOT SO DISTANT DAYS
TRUST GIVEN TO ALL
RESPECTED BY NONE
LIES, DECEIT
EXCUSES AND BLAME
ALL FEEBLE ATTEMPTS OF DENYING
BETRAYAL AND SHAME
BUT THESE ARE JUST A FEW PLAYERS
WHEN A GLASS PIPE
IS PART OF THE GAME
I SAW IGNORANCE
NO STUPIDITY
BUT DID NOTHING
ALWAYS EXPECTING GOOD
WHEN THERE WAS NONE TO BEGIN
WHY MUST I BE SO FORGIVING
WHEN I KNOW
THE GAME IS THE SAME
STILL OTHERS SAY
TAKE ME NOW
BUT DON'T EXPECT MY LOVE TOMORROW
FOR I HAVE AT THIS TIME
NO OTHER
THEY TELL ME
WHAT I WANT TO HEAR
HOLD ME NEAR
BUT DON'T GET CLOSE
FOR THE LOVE AND AFFECTIONS
IS WISHED ON ANOTHER
YOU SAY YOU HAVEN'T LIED
BUT YET YOU'RE LYING
RESPONDING TO QUESTIONS
WITH ACCUSATIONS
ANGER AND DISBELIEF
WHO ARE YOU TRYING TO CONVINCE
FOR I HAVE NOT FELT TRUE FEELINGS
AND WANTS SINCE...?
SOMETIMES I LOOK AT YOU
WITH HOPES AND DESIRES
BUT AS I LOOK DEEP
MY INNERS TWIST AND KNOT
FOR I SEE YOUR TRUE NATURE
THAT TORMENTS AND DISFIGURES
YOUR ONCE ATTRACTIVE FACE
WANTING WHAT YOU DO NOT HAVE
DENYING WHAT I HAVE GIVEN
I HOPE AND PRAY
YOU GET YOUR GRASS OF GREEN
FOR YOU'LL FIND IT'LL
SOON TURN BROWN
DRYING UP AND EVENTUALLY
CRUMBLING TO THE GROUND
IF YOU COME OUT OF IT
UNHURT AND CLEAN
YOU WERE NOT SMART
NO, JUST LUCKY
FOR YOU MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER
WHAT GOES AROUND
COMES BACK AROUND
TO PUSH YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE AND WANTS
LIKE MINE
INTO THE GROUND...
