You gaze into my broken world
Through your perfect eyes
Forsaking my dignity
To validate the lies

You pry into my weakened mind
And reach into my heart
Manipulating my inner being
Tearing it apart…

Enlightening me with wisdom
You’ve gathered through the years
The heartaches that you’ve endured
As if our lives were mirrored

You knew the pain I had felt
You had been there too
Reminding me life’s tragedies
Always found their way to you

I looked to you, my flesh and bone
To help me find the way
Wounded in this broken world
I could not bear another day

You saw the pieces fall apart
My world came crumbling down
Trying to stand on my own two feet
You pushed me to the ground

Where is the strength you posses
The wisdom that you implied
Your eyes are not so perfect
Blinded by the lies

You pry into my weakened mind
And reach into my heart
Manipulating my inner being
Tearing us apart….
