Broken Smiles and Broken Eyes

Broken smiles and broken eyes

That write in mental pain

That can't forget, no matter how hard it tries

That suffers in silence no matter the bane

That has in his ears, heartrending cries

That which are cursed forever to bear this strain


That keenly feel, all the hurt

They gave and got in turn

That are forever, ever alert

Lest they scar or burn

Tears are shed, replies are curt

Friends were killed, so all they spurn


Scalding hot in the day

Freezing cold in the night

Boots caked with hardened clay 

Truly, truly, a pretty sight

Words spun to deceive, to lead astray

Resistance is futile, happen what might
