[ When I look into her placid eyes ]

When I look into her placid eyes
I'm scared of what I see.
A cold and empty shell of flesh
full of hatred and suffering.

I try to soothe her with kind words,
help her soiled heart to mend.
But still she doesn't open up,
for her heart she must defend.

As months fade to a year
I stick by this girls side.
I try to calm her sorrows,
and help her not to hid.

I took her out with friends,
tried partying it all away,
But the heartache and the anger
looked like it was here to stay.

For this girl has been screwed over
time after time, again and again.
A strong minded loving soul
broke and beaten, never to trust again.

She spends all her time pretending
to be so happy and filled with joy
Only to feel like she's been played with.
Nothing to anyone, but a stupid little toy.

I take one last look at this girl
in the past so upbeat and strong.
and realize that the girl has changed.
The person I knew is now gone.

In this last look shock ceases my body
and I can't believe what I do see.
Beacuse that girl so empty and cold,
that damaged girl...is me.
