the poison in my blood makes the night seem a little brighter may make my heart seem lighter but it just hides the emptiness inside sharpens the craving for a touch makes me forget how long it’s been come and dance with me watch the smile light my face watch me act like I don’t care listen to my easy laughter but don’t look in my eyes ignore the shadows lurking there whisper softly in my ear make those hollow promises try to make me believe and I might pretend it’s all ok may act like I’m going to stay tell myself it’s not a lie but it’s just the poison pulling me to you and it’ll only last for tonight

Can empathise here. Reflections we see in the mirror tell use the painful truth.. As do the eyes betray us nomatter how clever the mask.. Stark metaphor too....
As they say, the eyes are windows to the soul, so those shadows might be something I want to see...before even for one night I make a mistake and partake of your same poison...Find Peace, Ed
