Behind Your Eyes

Behind those eyes What do you hide Is it the scars that won't go away The pain in your heart Riping you apart The words that they say That are sharper than blades The blood that you spill The cuts that they make. Is it tears full of rage Or a bitter after taste Is it the mess that's in your head the thoughts that you bear The shattering glares Is it their jokes Or the way they laugh The time that they spare Just to tare you in two. Is your body a cage binding you tight Or are they nightmares hunting you at night Is it the colour of your skin Stained with injustice The bruises and burns That stays in your heart Are you bound by chains That drag you down while you walk Is it that constant thought Of the hate that they give. Is it there stone hard hearts And locked up minds Is it the pain that you feel At the end of the day When you lie on your bed And cry it all away.
