Twelve Billion Eyes


Six billion people makes twelve billion eyes.
It's only good sense when we build a disguise.
Their safety can hide us, like curtains and shields,
Or, if used to get something, they're swords that we wield,
But you dress up different. You're costumed but real.
You curtain your reasons, but show what you feel.
I've seen your wholeness, and I've seen you scars.
Illusions die beautifully if you kiss them too hard.
