You Never Saw

Don’t look at me
Like you don’t know
And claim you never saw
Smile that smile
Of futures sweet
And believe as if it’s true.
Don’t use your heart
As a pacifist sword
To cut and hide the pain
Sear the truth
You claim as lie
And walk into the light.
Don’t look at me
With shallow eyes
And paint a picture bright
Hush the world
That grows outside
That’ll choke your sightless soul.
Don’t gaze at me
With empty eyes
That only see your truth
And claim you
Never saw beyond
These things – you never asked.
