Can I See



You sit there quiet as can be

You scroll through your phone or maybe searching for a tweet

But when you look up and I look into your eyes

I see no fun

But your smile radiates more than the sun

So where dies the pain come from?

What is its cause?

I want to help because I have fallen in love with your flaws

I wish you let me in and tell me all that is wrong

I want to take it away and make everything okay

But first you have to notice me

So for now I will sit here and wait

And wonder what it could possibly be

And maybe one day you will let me see
