There is another life behind your dark hair, hollow eyes.
There is another past beyond the crowds of young girls and curious boys that surround you
day and night

Sometimes I catch you smiling with satisfaction behind your poker face

because you know, no one knows

I see your parts falling more and more each day
Your shell becoming brittle and breaking
Your letting your mystery slip away

You don’t know, I know

I don’t know where your story started
I don’t know where the figures came into play
But I’ve already read the ending
I know where your turn made one fatal wrong move

No one knows your real name or where you came from
There’s another man underneath your costume
I know because he’s already seduced me
And he’s been telling me secrets you know

Who knew your own shadow would let such crucial information slip?

I don’t know where your story started
But he’s drawing me in piece by piece
The more I know the quicker I can free him
 
He only comes out in the pitch black dead of night
And he softly screams and sings and wraps his eyes around me

I don’t know where your story started
I don’t know when you split
Late at night I see you smile behind your poker face
 
Because you know, no one knows

And I smile back because you don’t know that I see you


You don’t know, I know

This is beautifully done. I love how the mystery is weaved throughout, and the vision evoked is spectacular! I am bookmarking this.

This is gorgeous, how often we wear masks, and not even know we are screaming. So sweet to know that others see beneath the surface, I can only guess the others subconcious may know, and more may be revealed.

"And I smile back because you don't know that I see you." I know this feeling...to catch the eyes of a person who believes themself a stranger to the world, and know almost everything there is to know about their heart. Excellent. ~*Beth*~

of the intricate complexities and the opaque , translucent simplicities we mask our.selves, shadow ourselves...within...and the .truth. that is forever revealed by a knowing eye and an open heart...this sees through blindness...wonderfully.

this hits close to how i've been feeling. reminds me of lyrics from a fall out boy song. "the only thing worse then not knowing, is you, thinking i dont know." it's like when you know someone better than they know themselves and they're always trying to h

..hide their feelings, or who they are. when really you know what they're thinking before they do. it's hard when that person really thinks they're doing a good job being mysterious. i loved this write.
