I was never a big fan
Of the pain that you get in your eye
When it’s hit by sunlight,
I was never a fan of how much it exposes
Cuz’ everything is so different up close
Up close
Your eyes aren’t brilliant
Anymore, they don’t remind me
Of a sea n’ a shore
They say eyes can never lie
And yours tell a story that cold
And alone…
Up close your beauty
Is compromised
By a concoction of confusion
N’ empty promises
Up close your forehead wrinkles,
And exposes more anger than
I would like
Up close your whole demeanor
Reflects your broken life
Up close to you
I see the truth
But take comfort in your lie…
But truthfully, I never cared much
For things that would dry up
N’ wither away
For things that are vain
And would fade no,
See what bothers me
Isn’t the fact that
Your beauty and charismatic charm
Wasn’t dependent on the lines of your face
And the way your teeth smile
And the way your brows rise when you’re excited
And the twinkle you had in your eye
And that glorious downward slope
That formed your jaw line
NO, what bothers me the most
Is that up close to you
I don’t feel your energy no more
And I don’t feel safe after all
And I don’t see promise in your eyes
And I don’t see a future in your palms
And I don’t hear songs on your lips
And I don’t feel life from your chest
And I don’t feel courage in your breasts
And now I struggle with every breath
Because up close
You’re not the same thing you were
From afar
To me you were an object, so far
That appeared one way
But turned out to be another
You were a wolf, but you came undressed
And my own mind gave you
Your clothing
You were the dark and my imaginations
Sprinkled on some light
You were an unfinished puzzle
And I supplied you
With your last piece
And I supp-LIED to myself
To keep that warm fuzzy feeling…
I was never a big fan of sunlight.
I was never a fan of the truth that lies hide behind.
I was never a big fan of my own mind.
I was always afraid to look past my eyes n’ see what I would find.
Cuz’ I was close to you
And personally
I would’ve preferred right
From the beginning
To know the truth
Now you’ve got me here
Scared as hell to uncover
Your secrets that I spotted
From afar
But didn’t care to believe
‘Till you got too close…
