The Watcher
You watch
And you wait
You wait for an opportunity to strike
But not through eyes of your own
You watch and you wait through the eyes of others
And of cameras conveniently placed
You watch and you wait behind false walls of safety
For you fear the actuality of potentially being caught
So you flee the front lines and watch from afar
Through the eyes of others watching in fall
You wait for me to falter
To waver
To crack
But I won't let it show
I won't show that I'm always on edge
Waiting for eyes to be following me
Across the ledge of privacy
I won't show that I'm afraid
To step away from this home
Where even in safety I feel scared and alone
I won't show that my heart breaks Whenever someone tells me they'll try
To do something to you
For I know they cant
And they may never be free if they try
Because deep down
I know
That you wont hesitate to hurt
Maybe even to ****
Even though I may
Waver
Falter
Then break
I wont show it for when I do it'll be
My own silent escape
