Be careful...

Be careful...
Be careful how close you look! I do not fear you and I do trust you. Be careful how close you look! No it is not the start of gray on my sideburns that I do not want you to see.
Be careful how close you look! Be careful now, don't get too close, don't stare to long.........

You just might see the pain as it bubbles to the surface... see it? There it is again!! I can't cure it and can only hope to contain it. Enfuego!! When it starts it is like a forest fire after a drought!! Only my tears can quell the pain!!
Be careful how close you look!! If you make it past my baby blues and past the pain!!! Will you see the hole in my soul? Will you see the darkness and empty abyss that I fear inside me? Careful, don't push me in. Be careful how close you look!

Be careful how close you look!! If you make it past my baby blues, my forest fire of pain, the hole in my soul, you just might see that my heart is cracked!! Do you have the spackle? Don't touch it!! It may break and I may fall. Be careful how close you look!!
Be careful how close you look!! If you make it past my baby blues, my forest fire of pain, the hole in my soul, the cracks in my heart, you might just see the man that is me!!!
The man I am, the man who loves unconditionally, the man who trusts freely, the man who still believes, the man who aspires to be, and the boy learning how to be a man.
So please....
Be careful how close you look!!! If you decide to look... please don't turn away to you see the love and kindess oozing out of my baby blues!!!!
