You Throw Words Out In the Moment of Anger
What do you see when you look at the blood?
The cuts so deep you can not breathe.
When you look into my eyes what is it you see?
The pain I've tried to hide from you.
When you look at me, are you disappointed?
Upset with these choices I've made.
When I look at you, I remember your words.
Cruel and heartless, until you knew the truth.
When I look into your eyes I see a fear.
Fear that what you said may be the last thing I hear.
When I look at you I see past the anger.
I no longer look there for the answer.
Where I find what I'm looking for,
Can only be seen when you look through the doors.
I find your heart, and look into it.
What you say and what you feel,
Unable to make sense of it all,
You throw words out in the moment of anger.
