Glass eyes and transparent lies


Glass eyes and transparent lies ,
I write Words that seem to rhyme ,
throw enough rhythm in each time,
Hoping a reader wouldnt find 
the secret, hidden in each line 
*Rewind
 
     Glass eyes end translucent lies 
     the reflection dies , at the meeting of our eyes 
Now an image of your soul fills my mind
Where the truth Lies To the mind
the mind lays in the truth
"I see you "
"I see a soul inside you , a knife behind you , a shoulder beside you, and a choice before you"
Who are you ? 
An echo fills the space of a whisper
And the words were . . 
"I see a soul inside you , but lifes behind you , an enemy beside you , and a choice that's betrayed you "
I am the vision of your mind 
The mirror of your time 
I reveal Cracks in the glass , faults in your past 
But as a judge I come last 
"Because I've seen your soul , I've seen your life , I've seen the shoulder on which you lean , I've seen your choice and what it means"
"You are . . .me. "
