The Darkness Within

I Read You Like A Book

Scary things are in everyone. I can see them. I see right through you.

Don't try to lie to me. Straight to my face.

A horrible mistake on your part.

I read your face, I see through your eyes.

I know you're lying.

Your posture, the sudden tense up, your facial expression suddenly hardening; trying too hard. I see your leg anxiously bouncing up and down under the table. I see you, clasping your hands together, trying not to draw attention to how badly they're shaking.

I know you're not okay.

I see, the pain behind your eyes. I feel, the struggles of your life.

You don't want anyone to know, but you're dying to tell someone.

You're dying.

And your words die with you.
