heavy globs of paint,
tiny brush strokes filled with pain
When you get so close you feel what has been felt,
egos start to melt,
sadness secures it's belt
When you look into the eye of an honorable guy,
you want him to help you fly,
but you think he's just a spy
When you get so close you see the flaws,
you know their cause,
you're forced to pause
When you get so close you smell her hair,
Tousled as she doesn't care
Wandering blissfully unaware
When you get so close you see the scars,
randomly arranged like stars,
dancing on a map to Mars
When you get so close all your illusions are destroyed,
you've lost your sense of joy,
life is no longer your toy
You see everything that built this
Every moment that could be
You live, you love, you enlighten
It's that moment when you know
You are free
