Her Brown Eyes

There she goes waling down her street

She's the kind of person you'd love to meet

With her brown eyes, she has mastered

The art of faking happiness and hiding the hurt

Some people never care to notice what is underneath

Or maybe they just want to believe in the laughing girl they see

It's an act that she plays in every single day

But it's not an act that her brown eyes can't be trained to play

One of these days she won't be able to go on with the act

It's a matter of time before she finally cracks

But I am the only one who can see

That she doesn't want to continue living

I watch on sadly as she takes the knife

And look away as she cuts away her life

Her brown eyes slowly lose their shine

As she quickly dies

All the pain was too much for her

She couldn't handle all the hurt

You had to merely look deep into her brown eyes

To figure out the reason why

No one could help her it was much too late

The only thing in her life was her inner heartbreak

The doctors try, try, and try

But her body they could never revive

I go over to where her limp body lies

And close her brown eyes
