I once heard the eyes are the windows to the soul, behind one man's eyes is a deep dark hole
a permanent nightscape of the mind, completely barren, nothing to find
there are no thoughts or feelings within.there is no hope for them to begin
withdraw your gaze from the void you will see a man, he looks annoyed
annoyance isn't on his mind, if you were to open him up that isnt what you'd find
if you had the compassion, the courage to dare, you would only find despair. despair at himself, at the feelings in his heart.
he is on the edge, at the end of his tether, he cannot break free, he cannot see forever.
he sees nothing but the pain inside, there is nowhere left for him to hide, his mind is empty of all fear, he's crying inside but you don't hear.
he cries for release to be free of the bonds of his soul, to break himself away from that deep dark hole.
he wants to be free, to head towards the light, to leave behind the darkness of night
he would welcome the release with open arms, embrace the light and release the harm.
this man is within us all, at one time or another, you recognise him as you would a distant brother, he is in all of our souls, in all of our hearts, but for some he will never be seperate, you will never be apart, pains others cause you will draw him forth, he will speak to you when you are weak and distraught.
if you embrace him and know he is there, he will not consume you, he will not leave you bare.
if you are strong of mind and strong in your heart he will not ever tear you apart.
