Personal Torture

Her eyes could stare back at you -
But what do they really say?
Do they tell you of her personal torture,
That she has to endure each day?

Of all the pain she keeps inside,
Of all the deceit and lies?
You couldn't tell by looking
Really deep within her eyes.

She has learned to hid it so well -
So one day she can move on.
But somehow she knows she can't,
And she knew that all along.

She wants to run, but she cant';
The lies, they keep her trapped -
Like an animal inside a cage.
When she misbehaves, she's slapped.

She hides the bruises under some powder,
And paints some color on her face.
She wants so desperately to find
Someone so the pain is replaced.

Hiding behind her makeup are deeply hurting eyes -
They just want someone to see them and finally realize -
That all the pain can stop and the hurt can go away,
If someone would come save her and take the pain away.
