Cracks…

I saw happiness and pain your eyes
as i confessed the truth to a multitude of lies
I saw horror become beauty’s disguise
I saw the day love finally dies

I saw my flaws and your flaws laid bare
we promised for each other to always be there
I mentioned that you are heaven sent
and i hope true love finds you in the end

I saw you practice how to disappear
escaping and denying your many fears
I saw you from the moon in that ivory tower
I saw night give way to dawn’s golden hour

I saw you watching over me as I slept
I saw you radiant mere hours after you’ve wept
I for once saw into your soul all too clear
it’s the greatest view from over here
