In Your Eyes

I looked into your eyes . Saw your pain . It was no surprise . I knew what you’d been through… I saw you cut, Blood on the floor . Life passing you by, Your now a shell of you. He took it away . Bit at a time . Even came back for more… That man of no use, Who stole your youth . How did it happen, When did it begin . Lost in a world, Of times and dates… Where, when and why me you asked ? Nobody knew, Not even you, Too young to remember. What he took , Was it real . The monsters hurt . You try so hard, Too young to understand. They sent you away, They never knew… You begged to stay, They didn’t listen. Nobody believed, What you tried to say . To be hurt by so many, Didn’t make sense . Your youth was gone, He stole it from you . You done nothing wrong . He took your youth . Don’t let him win. He took away your child hood . Left you in fear… Don’t give him your adulthood too. Open your eyes and see
