These Eyes

Eye to eye In the mirror what do they hide So scared of what lies ahead So engulfed in regret Eyes blue as sky Always so dark Fragile in a sense Tears roll down How do they wake each day To the unhappiness of life Each morning wanting more before the day begins Giving up on the promises of new These eyes can barely look forward Blinded by a fear unknown Can't stand what they see how they resemble themselves Stuck in a hopeless stare has lasted for years The beard greyer but hasn't aged Still frozen in a time so long ago But as present more today then ever before It's an endless cycle of despair and grief for youth gone by How ridiculous everything has become Play an endless mind game with your self These eyes do see what truth is in lies Blink years have disappeared Time has faded by There is no satisfaction in disgrace Only an appetite to self destruct When will these eyes fully see everything that is capable can be When does looking away seem more reachable When will these eyes see clearly When they close forever Who knows But in the end others are depending on what they see in themselves And that is the look everyone you love needs to know.
