You Can See Right Through Me

gentle gaze

as I feel your eyes

on mine

and a blush of insecurity

fills my stomach

as I realize you can see me

for who I am

and it’s the sad truth

that it takes a sleuth

for most people to even get a peek

I don’t know if it’s the lack of attention

or if they just truly can’t see

but when you glance at me

from across the room

I can see your expression change

as I move

and I know that my veil is suddenly transparent

because when I’m with you

I forget to wear it
