Fear In Her Eyes

I heard no cries , not a word was said ; 

All around her were the graves of the dead . 

She was staring straight , into that gloomy sky ; 

All I can see was the fear in her eyes.

Fear kills the weak , we were told ; 

Those were the words , that bought my soul. 

But how to face fear when looking at those eyes ;

they once used to dance and shine so bright . 

We took it away all that she had ; 

A mother she loved , and a man she called dad . 

They were her life , and all she knew ; 

Now alone and lost , in the rubble of her world .

She stood up and started to leave ;

Still no tears , why she never weeps . 

the guns are silent , the smoke fills the sky ; 

the sounds of grief is the playlist for the night .

I trembled as I got closer and my legs went weak ; 

My heart still bleeds for the forgiveness I seek . 

They tell me to get moving and start a new life ; 

If only they could see , that fear in her eyes .
