::Eye've Seen::

hassanred2.gif (103520 bytes)sometimes I feel eye’ve seen things eyes should not see

eye’ve seen the decay of my idols and
the absence of tears
in my young soul, eye’ve seen
a young woman
who knew she wasn’t ready
pretend she was, eye’ve seen
a father who wasn’t a father
be a father, eye’ve seen
a disillusioned youth who wanted to die
before he knew what life

was
eye’ve seen
my biological bonds axed
like a lumberman at wood

 

as if ashamed of me, eye’ve seen
an unbalanced young man
smile, laugh, cheer
not care
as he
destroyed himself to be what
he thought was free, eye’ve seen
this same boy who didn’t learn how to be a man
do whatever he can,
he... took a life, he... caused strife, he.... ruined a man’s wife
he... attempted to take
his own life

eye’ve seen Christ on the cross
and eye’ve seen him off
eye’ve seen weeks with out a son
and wonder how it all begun

eye’ve seen skeletons walk in bright day light
eye’ve seen my creepy shadow in the darkest nights
with images of a future with no sights
eye’ve envisioned a tunnel
at the end there was light

eye’ve seen a boy evolve

into a man,
fall in luv and
out, eye’ve seen
him wipe his tears apologetically
only to accumulate into
tears as massive and deep as a sea,
eye’ve seen him fall hard and fast
then get right back up off his ass

Eye’ve seen this man in the reflecting glass
and no one can see
what eye’ve seen
