Treading Land

I sat by you and waited for your eyes to change.
But your eyes grew no different. They just stayed the same.
And when I got up to leave, you asked me, "Why must you go?"
I would've answered you, but surely, by now you must know.
The cars chased past the sidewalk, but you were not chasing me.
You just let me walk away, cause you'd much rather leave me be.
You said to him, "Oh she'll be fine." But what a shame.
I may not, and in the end I'll say it was you who is to blame.
You'll say to him, "She's fine with it." Without a second thought.
But, my god child, you don't know the difference between what is and what is not.
So I'll run around a while, with all these colors inside my eyes.
Looking for a strangers shoulders to hold all my insides.
Become a stranger. Maybe then I'll get words to your ears.
It's not my fault, you know. It's not. You just don't want to hear.
I'll turn bitter, angry, and I'll leave while wearing out my soles.
And you'll just stare and wonder when I was shot to get these holes.
Well yeah it was when you turned your head. Just for a moment in the day.
Every time you do they open fire. And there's nothing you can say.
So sit there with a loss for words, and stare into his eyes.
I'll keep to me and leave you be. I can't handle your lies.
My colors all have faded down, so theres nothing you can say.
While you sat and waited for the world to change, I just walked away.
