If I had the eyes of a fly
And could see with miniscule diamond lenses
Everything would multiply and maximize
To the tips of hair rising on a goose bumped arm
To the vastness of galaxies unseen

I could see into other realms, where they hear with their hands and kiss with their feet
I could identify the inner workings of the most complicated things
I could detect distances that never existed before I came to be
And glimpse visions that have only been dreamed of, deep within someone’s unconscious

With orbs like mine, I could look upon a girl and know that she yearns for the taste of something sweet
I could glance at a man and simply understand that he is unbearably forlorn
When someone lies, I can tell by the way tiny beads of sweat protrude
And when they tell me they love me, my eyes would preclude

But instead, I am only human
I see what a human does see

I can't tell if far away, there are other planets
I wouldn't notice if your hair did rise
My eyes only consist of scientific parts; cornea, pupil, and iris
I know nothing of a girl or a man
And if someone said, I love you
I would never be able to tell they were lying.
