Open Your Eyes

by Amy   Jul 3, 2004


Open your eyes
see the pain shes in
see how she lives
corrupted by sin

Take a look
cant you see her tears?
listen carefully
cant you hear her fears?

Open you eyes
see how she cries
listen to what she says
protects herself with lies

See the bruises
and marks on her skin
open your eyes
see the trouble shes in

Look how she flinches
and backs away
when people come near
shes afraid to stay

Look at where she lives
and the clothes she wears
covered in dirt
and all those tears

Open your eyes
don't miss the signs
crawl inside her head
and see what you find

Open your eyes
cant you see
shes not here today
where could she be

The answer is home
lying on the floor
covered in blood
like many times before

You never noticed
what was going on
how she was treated
was really wrong

She was beat every night
and pushed around
you never saw
or even made a sound

She wont wake up this time
you were her best friend
but you kept your eyes closed
until the very end

    That was really sad :-( It makes me think, I don't really look for signs, because you never expect it to be happening to someone close to you. Great poem. You Rock Ams :-D

    Much Love,
