From the Glasses of Innocent Eyes

Snuggling through words
Playing the role of her ruse
The broken family picture
Erase the humanity from her bone

Playing hide and seek with realism
She stands under the spotlight
As if the audience blindfolded 
As if they were meant to be deaf

Rely on the notion of her self perspective
She lost on the devil road 
While the innocent eyes finaly judge
While the innocent eyes finaly speak

Collapsed by the evidence of her mistake
Her child takes the wounds in silent sob
There is no concern
Or no room to pity the misled past

From the glasses of innocent eyes
No more Mom figure but ghost
No more hero, just zero
No longer appreciated or feel betrayed

The child must walk on her maturity
