Just Open Your Eyes

My heart sings words that are unclear
Because no one
No one
Seems to hear
But here
I fear
I will stay
My dear
Just tear after tear after tear
My mind screams thoughts so loud so loud
But no one
No one
Every turns around
Can you see me?
Can you see me?
Just look down
So loud so loud so loud
I dance in a world of sins and lies
I scream in silence
As tears fill my eyes
I love, Oh I love
But that love does not suffice
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Are you really that blind?
Desperate, I search
But still, I’m lost
Sadness, a church
With no Christ
No God
Oh I love, oh yes I love
But that love does not suffice
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Just open your eyes

I little too angsty for my taste, but I like how you formatted the poem.
