Sad Eyes

Sad Eyes

Sadness fills her eyes

And in every tear she cries

Her heart hoping it would end

She can't release it to a friend

She holds the pain within her heart

Hoping someday that it would part

This sadness that hides her eyes

And she often wonders why

Not understanding, you criticize

And every time a little dies

Hoping soon that you would understand

The pain she's experienced first hand

She's holding on with all her might

Hoping to make it through the night

Scared and all alone in the dark

She cuts her arm and leaves a mark

She feels as if she's about to lose

Hoping that she's able to choose

Between the pain that scars her heart

And the life she's about to part

On her bed she begins to slip

Feeling clam as her eyes dip

She takes her one last breath

Then grabs the hand of death
