Look At Me

You cry the day away
You sigh because its just another day
Locked up in your room again
Why can't you just let go
Let go of the thoughts-the things
That engulf you in such sorrow

If only you would look up at me
And see the way I see you
A broken, forlorn soul-chained to the wall
The bonds only hold you-as long as you wish
For they are of your own creation
They only seem to be because you wish them
Don't you see?-Why can't you see?
Just open your eyes-let go of the past
Let go of the lies

Tonight, lets find the hollow holes
That have been in your heart for so long
Clouding all thoughts of reason
Your mind, body, and soul-it holds
But it's all in your head-nothing's really there
Please, just open up your eyes
There's nothing really there

It's killing you
Why can't you see?
Just look-please, just look at me
I know how much it hurts
I know the pain you feel
But it's time to let go
It was never truelly real

Reality was too much for you
You had seen more than you should
Saw what it was really like-feared it
The fear engulfed you-brought you pain
It grew in your mind-turning you insane

My dearest friend
Now you must decide
Will you take on reality?
Face your fear, the darkness?
Or will you submit
To the hollowness that consumes you?

I can help you
But only if you look up
Look at me in the eye
See the things I see
The way you are to me
Then tell me that you will fight-take back your life from fear
Or that you wish to escape-that you've had enough
You've seen too much anyway-that's enough

But either way-you must look up
You have to look up
Into my eyes-into the light
See what you have become
See the things I see
I will help you
All you need to do is look at me

Please
Just open your eyes
Please
Just look at me
I beg of you
Come back to the light
Come back to us

We who love you more than you think
And only want to see you smile
We who love you with all our heart
And would die if you gave up
We who care to remember the little things
And wish only to make you happy
We who want you back
Back to your normal self

We who wait for you to come back from the darkness
Waiting for eternity
Why?
Because we love you
That's reason enough

So please
Look at me...

Author notes

This is dedicated to my dear friend and brother who is in the Air Force. I love him too much to let him give up... I wish he would just try to think for himself for once. He just doesn't understand that he has to get throught the toughest times now in order to have a happier future. I'm worried about him, but I'll always be there for him... If only he could understand that I've been here the whole time...
