I CAN hear you...

“People don’t tell me what I need to hear. I listen to the unsaid words, observe quietly, read the unspoken words between the lines. The words they think they hide from me. This kind of listening is an art in itself.”
 
 
 
you whisper hurtful words
 
around the corner … down the hall
 
you think, “what she doesn’t know can’t hurt her”
 
but you’re not there to see me fall
 
 
 
cuz I know what you’re not saying
 
and I hear what you won’t tell
 
I see through your disguise
 
so I won’t buy what you’re trying to sell
 
 
 
I hear the hidden secrets
 
I see the guarded faces
 
I can read between the lines
 
and see between the spaces
 
 
 
I don’t need you to lie to me
 
or try to hide what you really feel
 
cuz I’m tired of all the fakers
 
and I’m yearning to know what’s real…

Author's Note
don't lie to me okay? I hate being lied to... like demi lovato said, "I'll take the pain, give me the truth, me and my heart.. we'll make it through..." I just want the truth...
