Look into my eyes
But don't look to far
Do you see the broken dreams
The bruises and the scars

A man tortured by his past
Faith and hope departed
Hiding behind the memories
That left him broken-hearted

A man haunted by his very soul
That stained his tender heart
That stole away his happiness
And tore his life apart

A man living in a nightmare
Poisoned by lies
Is that what you see
When you look into my eyes

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
