Her eyes

Don't look in her eyes
In her eyes lies the bitter truth
The pill you can't swallow
The heartbreak she's endured

You say you love her
But if you look in her eyes
Can you handle the pain
Of a lifetime of abandonment?

When you look in her eyes
Do you see what she shows the world,
Or do you see what's beneath
Broken and shattered, yet unyielding?

The stubbornness and pain
The desperation and strength
The determination to find
The only thing she's ever wanted

Her eyes hold the truth
So don't look into her eyes
If you can't handle what's there
If you can't see what's real

If you look and don't like what you see
Beneath the cover of her smile
If you look in her eyes and turn away
You will shatter another piece.

For the sake of her soul
Don't look in her eyes
If you aren't ready
To love the broken parts, too...
