Maybe

Maybe you’ll notice

         The way I look at your face

Or maybe you’ll stay oblivious

          To the soul trapped in a dark place

Maybe your eyes will finally open

           To the heart that’s in your hand

Or maybe you’ll stay blind and ignore

           The darkening state of the land

    I don't see the way you see,

    But I see your orphic frame.

    I don't think the way you think,

    Yet I dream of your kalon.

    I believe your beauty is too deep,

    Too deep to just ignore.

    Just to turn your back?

    Why do you act like you’re a friend,

    Just to terrorize the rest?

    I want to save you from your fears,

    And when I wake.

    And there's no escape

    From the terrifying pain.

     

    Have you felt
