Saw truth hidden in my wife's eyes prior to divorce. This was my "venting"
BEHIND HER EYES




Emotional breakdown far from easy
With everything you say there to tease me
Fighting fall with tooth and nail
Fruitless action - I still will fail

Trying quietly to unlock this riddle
Mental state growing much more brittle
Don't know what today will bring
Wanting truth to finally ring

Can't see the light or the tunnel
Feed more lies - I'll hold the funnel
Can't break free of your prison
Forgotten how to make my own decisions

Wish your face I would not analyze
But see the truth behind your eyes
Want to see my own reflection
See only shadow of your deception

Want your heart to hold me high
Know that you don't - it's all a lie
HE is the one that made you FEEL
Reality is bending - this can't be real

Cruel realization I don't want to face
But you have brought me to this place
Sometimes wish I still was blind
Wish your lie I did not find

Hard to smile and laugh out loud
When feel like child lost in crowd
Wheels are spinning - stuck in rut
Blood still seeping from this cut

See your lie has now grown bold
Watched your love become cold
When you speak don't know what's real
Wish it was I who made you FEEL.
