Promise

I'll never understand what you see
What you perceive
Saying you know what's solid
You know what's the truth
Looking in just a single direction.

Your face, your smile, they glimmer
as they defy the expression in your mind
reflecting in the sorrow of your eyes
As the hidden truth penetrates the concept
And contradicts the idea of your happiness

I can sense the fragmentation inside
The shadow behind the building
Where stray dogs lie
to rot and to die
But you all the more deny

But the dissimulation has broken the mask
That fooled many with speeding eyes
And you confirm
And I assist
As your new denial is to repair

I come in hope
I come in faith
That I can somehow make use of my hands
That you can take it
and I can pull you back up into the surface, where even the clouded may breathe

My hand is here
Stretching at it's full length
For you to take
But it seems that you don't even see it
And all you can do is disagree with my insisting

Is it that we are beyond each other's comprehension
That we see the sky as rain and sun
Never in simultaneous agreement
That it was never at all easy
But our cooperation runs thin

Your spoiled expectations
Your thin competence
Your weary patience
It all brings me to loath you
Others are doomed to live below you, yet you act as if the world wants to drown you

Wake up, my blindfolded friend
Embrace the truth
That your not the only one
That you can indeed escape from the shadows behind your building
That I am here, trying my best, and you are denying it

Your mind is filled with ignorance
Your reasoning shattered by heartache
By mistake
Your coddled emotions
Your ludicrous acceptance to things as they are without change

They sicken me
They thwart my content existence
Yet I would kill myself trying to pull you out of the shadows
I'll let my arm rot, waiting for you to take my grasp
All because that is what friends would do

~
I'll never understand what you see
Looking in just one direction
You don't know the truth
Wake up, my blindfolded friend,
I'll promise I'll untie it.
