Empty Eyes

As hollow as an hour glass

As empty as can be

They stare you down so haungtingly

you have no where to flee.

Tears stream down them quickly

There seems no end in sight

with anger and with hatred, with sadness and with fright.

There's no where else to turn to

all options have run out.

She knows there's no escape, she knows without a doubt.

The problems always were there

lurking underneath the surface.

Her life is far too busy,

shattered in a shamefulmess

She to pack her bags.

She wants to curl up and die.

Nothing seems to help her.

She can't live another lie.

No one ever realized

the pain that laid within.

No one even knew how

special that girl could have been.

But now her life is hopeless.

Time is running thin.

Her reflection's staring back at her,

emotions building from within.

Endings always end in tradegies

but this she will defy.

That is what she tells herself

as she looks into Empty Eyes.
