Look into my dark brown eyes,
The first thing that you see,
Is the laughter,
The happiness.
But dig a little deeper,
Look a little farther,
Behind all that joy
You will strike pain.
It lurks there,
Deep in my eyes,
Buried under beauty and love,
Never to come out,
Until you send those special people
Who have the ways
To release the pain
From its cage of darkness.
Yes, it has happened
To all of us,
Everyone breaks down,
Everyone falls apart,
The joy that some use
As a thick barrier,
Falls.
And the sun fades
Behind the clouds,
And the pain emerges,
Ripping out its knife,
Slashing the insides
Of the eyes,
Slowly we lose sight
Of the prize,
And suddenly,
We begin to cry.
