Eyes

Take me as I am
Accept the whole of me
Not just some empty sham
But all I can ever be

Take my hate filled heart
This tortuous beating thing
This thing that tears me apart
And tears so easily bring

Take this twisted mind
Full of lust and madness
Darkness you will find
If you search beyond the sadness

Take this broken shell
Battered and well abused
It’s taken me through hell
This form so ill used

But there is love here as well
If you see past the disguise
Enough to make your bosom swell
If you just look into my eyes.
