IF THEY CARED, WHEN I CRY

my eyes are darker when i cry,

a dark blue that speaks of pain

that my mouth is too afraid to say.

my eyes mirror what my soul feels.

they could see if they cared,

but they’re too wrapped up in

their own little world

to really give a damn

about the sorrow of a little girl.

So, I lie alone staring at the wall,

my eyes getting darker by the second.
