The Warning

How do you think that you know me?
When you have only seen a reflection??
When you've wandered the alleyways of my soul
In search of vapid perfections...
You have seen the smiles and laughters
But the scars have gone unknown...
The idyllic mirage of a merry girl...
Unnoticed nights alone...
You've smelled the roses in my garden..
The dry leaves shunned away...
What do you know of my tears....
The shadows of dismay....
You've seen my  starlit eyes...
You've bathed in the light of my moon..
Don't etch your desires on my skin...
If you plan to leave so soon...
You've loved the images in my dreams
Not the horrors of nightmares...
You've craved a girl of sand...
With cold blood and blank stares...
You've loved the dawn of hopes
Not my despairing dusks...
You've felt the touch of glass...
Not the me under the mask....
You've never tried to delve deeper...
To unveil the stone beneath the silk...
An expressionless stream of emotions...
A face as pallid as milk....
You are dwelling in a world of lies....
In a fruitless pursue...
And the more you live in me...
You'll forget all that's true....
