Blue Eyes
Blue Eyes
I sit at home
All alone
I put on this strong phisod
For everyone to see
So they don't worry about me
But here I am worrying about everyone else
Instead of just myself
If they only knew what was inside of me
No, I don't want them to see
For that is my weakness, my vulnerability
I dreampt of this boy
Whose parents left astray
I ran to comfort him
Telling him everything is going to be ok
He hugged me tight not wanting to let go
I took a closer look only to see...
That the little boy was me...
I didn't know what to do or say
He just kept begging me to stay
And asking over and over again
If we were going to be ok.
Because all I do is watch over others
I put myself second to everyone else
And I never realized that deep down..
This is how I truly felt
"What about us?" he asked.
"Did you ever think of that?!"
I dreampt of this boy
Whom I had left astray
Because I never gave him the time of day
I just hugged him and said "Everything is going to be ok"
He told me to promise, So I did
I'm going to live for myself
And still make time for everyone else
Tears ran down his face
Scared of what is fgoing to happen next
All I could do is give words of comfort
Because he and I share the same pain
He and I are one in the same
He is my weakness, My vulnerability
Hidden behind these blue eyes
For only me to see..
