Time Stands Still

today the silent one does have her say
today all contradictions seemed ok
today's the day that I become the sky
a silent understanding, oh my

You with the sad eyes,
Light brown flecked with orange,
That can penetrate you
Like a bullet straight to your heart.

You with the sad eyes,
In your heart
Are unspoken grievances and hurts,
That I can only guess but will never know.

But I cannot help you ease the pain,
If you refuse to let go of it.
I cannot help you mend your heart,
If you refuse to leave your wounds alone.

You with the sad eyes,
I do not understand
Why you keep picking at your scars,
Like a child constantly fingering
The scab on his knee.

Re-opening the wounds,
Letting the bad memories spurt forth
Like a nightmare rewinding itself
All over again.

You with the sad eyes,
Unable to let go completely,
Afraid to move on
And search once more,
For the emotions that you’ve long forgotten.
