"Perception"

I see you how you would like to be seen
move past deception
alter your perception
is anything truly as it seems?

shattered visage
a faceless facade
a mirage in the centre of the city
shower me with raindrops
composed of pity
your cries for help
have been heard
help is on the way
just give me the word
dear friend
just say the word.

Friendships don’t just die and falter
sure, they change and may alter
seek my advice its free to receive
don’t hit your head on the way out
when you leave.
Make sure you receive the help that you need
I gave you fair warning
now is the time to heal and heed.

I see how you would like to be seen
move past deception
alter your perception.
