behind the lenses
February 20, 2024
he looks into me,
scrutinizing my soul for an entrance.
i look back, trying to undo the locks and chains on these fences,
but it’s a bit difficult to do behind the lenses.
i hold pain,
trying to conceal my bricks,
because i do want to trust his words.
he says he got me,
he says he’ll be the first man to love me,
he says he’d take the bullets life shoots for me.
but, i don’t know…
should i let him truly see me?
i believe i can’t answer that inquiry.
that’s why i remain behind the lenses.
innocence doesn’t belong with demons.
