I see pain in their eyes. <br />I hear sorrow in their cries. <br />Inside I break and cry alone, <br />with my eyes of fire and heart of stone. <br /> <br />No matter how much pain I feel <br />I am sure that I will always deal <br />the way I know..alone <br />with my eyes of fire and heart of stone. <br /> <br />Others may not know the fear. <br />They know just what they see or hear. <br />I come off cruel and cold. <br />Inside I'm not...I'm just not bold. <br /> <br />I have to thank my mother <br />for the love she's never shown <br />The one thing that she did give me... <br />her eyes of fire and heart of stone.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eyes-of-fire-and-heart-of-stone/
