EMPTY EYES
The pain of a broken past
A childhood better forgotten
Scars that will never heal
A heart that can't be fixed
Empty eyes see no purpose in life
Painful memories that can't be forgotten
He pushes them back through his addictions
Violence, alcohol, and drugs
That's the life he knows
His life is empty
Devoid of guidance
He is avoided, despised, and feared
No one sees the lonely child within
A child still aching for love and shelter
Life is empty and lonely
The drugs and alcohol keep the pain away
But only for so long
As he waits for death to finally take him
