Stricken and Disturbed

Stricken and Disturbed

Gaze like icy loneliness Sliding down my back Walks like she's suffering Dark rubies along her arms I see the pain in her heart Her eyes cry out It hurts to see Like a thousand fires Aiming to scald I'm Scared and Appalled Everyday she keeps trying No tears in her eyes Determination in her brow She smiles at everyone Hiding her pain I can only ask how? Is everyone blind? How her eyes shine abused I'm Amazed and Confused Anger fills her unseeing eyes Like millions of daggers Bore into my soul I'm frozen in my shock So much hurt and rage her heart holds Her anger comes off her In waves of unseen heat It seems it can't be curbed I'm Stricken and Disturbed
