BENEATH THE SKIN

by Michael Verterel   Jun 29, 2008


I SEE THEIR SMILES SOAR HIGH ABOVE THE STARS AT NIGHT

I SEE THEIR TEARS FLOWING ALONG WITH THE CREEK

YET BENEATH IT ALL I SENSE SOMETHING GREATER

SOMETHING WORTH UNCOVERING

IS IT AN IDENTITY THATS BEEN KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC

OR IS IT JUST A RUMOR THAT MUST BE TOLD TO BE SET STRAIGHT

MAYBE IT'S A CRUSH

OR MAYBE IT'S A JOKE WORTH LAUGHING AT

MAYBE IT'S A SOCIAL FEAR THAT IS TO POWERFUL TO EVERCOME

NO WAIT, ITS HIM ISN'T IT

THE ONE THAT USED YOU

THE ONE THAT BROKE YOU TILL YOU COULDN'T BREATH

YOU REMEMBER DON'T YOU, ITS HIM ISN'T IT

I FEEL THE TENSION IN YOUR GRIP

YOU WANT TO RUN DON'T YOU

WELL DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT

HE'S NO ONE, HE'S JUST AN IGNORANT AND SELFISH MAN

DON'T WORRY ABOUT HIM, I'M HERE

HE WON'T COME NEAR YOU, CAUSE IF HE DOES

HE'S GOING TO BE THE ONE FALLS DOWN PLEADING FOR MERCY

DON'T WORRY WE'VE MADE IT

HE'S INSIDE AND HE'S BEEN FOUND GUILTY

HE'LL NEVER SEE NOR TOUCH YOU AGAIN

YOU'RE SAFE NOW

(I HAD NO IDEA WHERE TO PUT THIS UNDER..LOL)
