Subtlety

times are coming to a close

and doors are creeping open ever wider

as the night moves on

and you don't follow suit

take my hint

I'm less than subtle

take my hand

and feel it's cold

watch my eyes

now look behind them

hasn't this been getting old

we are both hinting at the end

when you don't want to be my friend

it hurts they say

when these times come

I understand

but still I'm numb

but I feel a headache coming on

that some might say it guilt

but believe me child

my guilt does not extend to you

this is not a lie

if I can make myself believe it

I'm not sure of anything

I need these words repeated

images come in fragments

but they do not fit together

you're so clever

what you never know

will stay with you forever

I wasn't the one

no wait, I was

everything has been my fault

my thoughts, my words

locked in this vault

just written on this paper

when all of this should be said

so don't praise me for my honesty

you have no idea what's in my head
