Don't Look At Me
Don’t look at me.
Because my tears are a burden all my own.
Don’t look at me.
Because you’ll find my mouth sewn shut.
Don’t look at me.
Because your kind eyes will remind me of how weak I am.
Don’t look at me.
Because I don’t think I can handle your caring.
Don’t look at her.
Because she only wants to cry alone.
Don’t look at her.
Because her eyes are red and raw.
Don’t look at her.
Because your kind soul will remind her how she has failed.
Don’t look at her.
Because she can’t take your love.
Don’t look at them.
Because all they want is a warm hand on their shoulders.
Don’t look at them.
Because they desperately want their tears wiped away.
Don’t Look at them.
Because all they need is to be told they matter.
Don’t look at them.
But all they want is your gaze.
