The Real You And The You - You Want To Be Seen

you thrive

in the shadows

unseen

and unknown

subtle

like a goosebump

but hidden

somewhere

below

you are

the heartbeat

in the chaos

the blood seeping

from the wound

the devil in the seance

corrupting minds

neath the moon

eyes as innocent

as church bells

ringing hope into the night

a demon forged

in hell

others despair -

is your delight

you sit outside

our windows

or behind

closed doors

to get a peek

mayhem follows

where you go

a predator

hunting

the weak

a hello

is never simple

from you it's

a foot inside the door

sucking

at trouble's

nipple

like a baby

on the floor

wiping truth

easily away

like milk

dripping

from your chin

distorting any proof

letting the

drama come in

you wield a knife

that

no one can see

inserting your life

somewhere

you're not meant

to be

an ugly

scab on the skin

unhealing

and contagious

a cancerous sin

stealing

away

common sense

confusing the mind

and ravaging

hearts

snuffing out the

light

a true friend

of the

dark

addicted to the cries

that you've

craved

for years

the fights and

goodbyes

you celebrate

by drinking the tears

all the while

denying

you knew anything

at all

camouflaged

your spying

like vermin

living in

the walls

a fly gathering

secrets

leaving small specs

on the wall

you're all in

for the mess

but should

never have

been there

at all
