The one with the sad eyes is the only one whose blue skies are grey.


Her lies are there
Her eyes are red
I can feel her
She’s alive, yet dead.

She was my friend
The sympathy now long gone
She told me lies
And I knew they were wrong.

We were practically sisters
Before she cheated me out
And then we were sisters who
Fought with each other, scream after shout.

Then she was gone
Without a trace
And not until today
Did I see her face.

She is there
Waiting for me
Maybe she is dead
But how could this be?

She hurt who I loved
She tormented my soul
She killed my family
My heart has a hole.

My mother, my father
She took them away
She has not said sorry
Not even today.

I will wait
Until she truly dies
But everyday now
I hear my family’s cries.

“Help us, please!”
“Save us, now!”
“Help us, please!”
But where? But how?


I never knew how to help
They were so far
But it’s all my fault
In my life, a scar.

She sits there, laughing
Like it wasn’t true
But she had left me alone
That, I knew.

They took me to hospitals
They made me lie on a bed
But while they took the tests
All I saw were her eyes, very, very red.
