Daddy's Eyes

A reflection of deception...
 
She looked at me  
as if she were looking at him.  
She stated her obvious observation:
 
"You look just like your father."
 
Her words were hard to swallow...
 
 
I reluctantly peer at the fun house mirror
For I am the host my own freak-show  
 
I walk through familiar doorways  
Desperately searching for vacancy  
Within my own home  
 
The echoes of past chime too loud
Invoking skeletons buried and barred
 
The time capsule's time was up
Things once concealed  
Now dug up  
 
A little boy grew to a man...
That looks just like Him...
 
I wish he saw the things I have seen  
I wish he could see
 
For my eyes resemble  
Those eyes of his  
But my eyes have seen more  
Than his ever did
