Darkness only sees

By miskolina

hide your face from the stars in the sky
for they see the truth
and the tears that you cry
the darkness awaits for the night-time show
as light slips away,it pulls off the pretty bow
the smiles aren't real,and life isn't your game
it rips you apart
it plays with your shame
