DO YOU NOT KNOW?

Do you not know the look?
They can’t help it you know,
They’re unaware of their emotions,
Yet we read them like a book.
See how they look away,
How silent they become…
Yet even sometimes louder,
When they think mockery is fun.
But they don’t really know,
And most of them don’t care;
Because they do not understand,
What we can’t with them share.
We might shake them by the hand,
But there is no compare.
