hurt (Free verse) by yOum|n
i want to see
to see the world
thru the eyes of a child
i want to block out
all the ugliness
the sadness
and the cold reality
i want to see the pretty things
the things that make me smile
i don't want to
feel the pain
all the confusion
i hate to see
your expressionless face
when you lie to me
you make me believe
that you were innocent
your fabricated lies
woven into the beautiful picture
i don't want to see
your tauntings behind me
your stifled laugh
the evil gleam in your eyes
i don't want to see
the glimmer in your eyes
and to hear
your uncontrolled sobs
your plastic smile
you made me believe
that you are my friend
and then all of the truth
they came crashing down
onto my fragile frame
all i wanted
is your sincere smile
it sends a heartwarming feeling
through my body
your genuine laughter
makes me glow inside
i want to see
your promises kept
i want to feel
your warm hug
i want to see you when i'm hurt
not only when eveything's going fine
is that too much to ask for
maybe it is
i just wish
i just want to see the world thru the eyes of a child.
