Open your eyes

I SEE THE PAIN IN HIS EYES,
I FEEL THE PAIN STRAIGHT FROM HIS HEART.
HE ALWAYS TRIES TO BE SO TOUGH,
BUT I CAN SEE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE.

A MANLY MAN SO STRONG & SWEET,
LOVING HUSBAND, WONDERFUL DAD & GOOD SON TOO.
AS A BROTHER HAS BEEN CUT SO DEEP,
HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG BUT STAND BY HIS WIFE.

THIS ISN'T A FAMILY...

WHY IS HE KEPT SO FAR AWAY,
FROM ALL THE THINGS THAT MADE HIS FAMILY PROUD.
WHAT HAPPENED TO UNCONDITIONAL LOVE,
OPEN MINDS IN TROUBLED TIMES....

WE ALL HAVE MADE SOME REALLY BAD MISTAKES,
SO HOW COME IT'S GOT THIS FAR.
TAKING IT OUT ON THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSON I'VE MET,
IF YOU CARED LIKE YOU SAY YOU DID....

STOP MAKING HIM HURT THIS BAD!

THE EFFORTS HE MADE TO KEEP IT TOGETHER,
STILL TRYING NOT TO BREAK EVERYDAY.
HE CAN'T FOOL ME... I WATCH HIM ALL THE TIME,
YOU DON'T SEE OR EVEN WANT TO SEE!

BUT I GUESS YOU ALL LIKE THE WAY IT IS,
IF NOT THEN WHY HAS IT STAYED THE SAME.
NOW HE TRIES TO FORGET ABOUT THE ONES HE LOVES,
BECAUSE THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM!!!

    ver well written

    awwww so sorry... i posted a comment on your page awhile ago, was asking my self who could this man be? maybe her brother. well i only saw this poem in your myspace, and i scrolled up coz i wanna see more of you piece, then i saw this one again, read it again and again, i felt it. im so sorry. this piece made me cry, coz i was like him, but the difference is i don't have a family and he does. i love this one, very moving and well written. it greatly shown the pain of the writer. anyway, again im sorry, i don't know why i kept on saying that. oh well, prolly still carried away. U MADE ME CRY! sigh* muwah. love this piece. thank you for sharing this.
