Sad Eyes
See those sad eyes
That hide in cheer,
Sense those soft sighs
That linger near.
See the plain truth
Disguised in lies,
Feel a sure proof
That never dies.
See the real world
Beyond the screams,
Feel a sad swirl
Of tainted dreams.
See beyond gall
Where harsh pain hides,
Know a sure call
In humbled pride.
See the known fact
That seems so sure,
Learn to pry tact
With motive pure.
See beyond sense
To poignant feel,
Look beyond tense
To love that heals.
