Spent a lifetime wearing a mask
That laughs and smiles, but they're all lies
Pretending that your happiness comes naturally
But can still see the emptiness in those eyes
Behind those eyes, lies something scary
A mysterious and scolding glare
Something that attempts to protect the inner you
And tries to destroy all intruders with a single stare
The eyes of a woman with good intentions
Who pushes all away by being nonchalant and mean
The eyes of a living, breathing woman
Whose emotions died at the age of thirteen
Those eyes tell the tale of someone torn
Someone of bleeding heart and trampled soul
She rather put up an invisible shield
Instead of letting her fears go
Those eyes, cry hot tears
As she purposely sabotages all she wants to achieve
Her motto: "can't let a man love me"
Wrongfully preparing herself to be deceived
Her closest friends, still strangers
Her true self is someone most don't know
As she's convinced that her vulnerability is weakness
And it would **** her to let it show
To judge her demeanor would be judging her outer shell
Case isn't closed, the complete, true story is yet to be told
Of the young woman with the warm, inviting face
But whose eyes....those eyes.... are so cold.
