Let Me In

by Rebecca Bowen

People tend to hide behind their eyes,
Yet I can see right through that.
You can't fool me.
I can see right through what you're trying to pull.
Saying everything's ok,
Yet you're wishing you'd just die and go away.

Let me in.
I wont hurt you.
I promise.
I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you.
Tell you I know how you feel if I really don't.

If I say that I care,
Belive me, I do.

You pinned colorfuly do much with so little.I love the topic because it's such a common issue that we face as individuals when we begin to build new bridges and reach out with communication, love, friendship, etc. to another human being, and I love your take and feelings on it, portreying your frustraition brilliantly. I could feel exactly what you felt when writing this even if I had not been there at one time or another myself. Beauno it's a very enjoyable read. thumbs up :)

I can see why this was posted as POTD, it's brilliant, I love the simplicity of the words that mean so much more than first glance.
