    Eyes Opened

    The curtain has opened

    Leaving the audience in awe

    Struck terror

    Beaten and bruised

    Lying in a puddle of love’s blood

    Made of roses

    Is a girl once thought to be in

    Love now dropped from the

    Rainbow colored sky of her dreams

    Her eyes have been opened

    Freed from loves blinding embrace

    Thought to be in love with one

    Found no love in oneself

    Blinders are off

    And she is able to see

    The world for what it shall be.

    So much feelings coming through in such a little amount of words. This works for us men also.

    Thank you and you're right. Unforunately every person has to go through this and it sucks. But what kind of life would we have w/out the pain to go along with the pleasure?

    I love the title - that is what drew me in. I was not disappointed. I was that girl once. I will add this to my favorites!

    Thank you. I too was that girl. Now I am too jaded and wish I could have my innocence back. But wishes are like grains of sand, they blow away in the wind and sift through your fingers even within a clenched fist. Keep up the good work, can't wait to read more!

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
