Never is a promise

You'll never see the courage I know 
Its colors' richness won't appear within your view 
I'll never glow - the way that you glow 
Your presence dominates the judgements made on you 

But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights 
The shades and shadows undulate in my perception 
My feelings swell and stretch; I see from greater heights 
I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you 

You'll say you understand, but You don't understand 
You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye 
But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie 


You'll never touch - these things that I hold 
The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own 
You'll never feel the heat of this soul 
My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you .
