Open your eyes

A poem I wrote for my friend (1st poem so it might not be too good)

You used to be full of pride,
Now you let her treat you like dirt.
You set yourself up for pain
And you complain when it hurts.
It never used to be like this;
You have always seemed so strong.
I thought you'd put an end to it,
Not take it for so long.

You must feel it so much more
If it's even hurting me.
Please just open your eyes
And accept what you see.

The glow that used to shine in you
Whenever she was around,
Has yeilded to show a pain
That shouldn't exist to be found.
Stop letting her control you
And stop pretending it'll change.
Stop hiding from reality;
It's making you deranged.

You must feel it so much more
If it's even hurting me.
Please just open your eyes
And accept what you see.

If you end it soon enough,
You can save yourself the pain.
You can come out of this strong,
Instead of driving yourself insane.
I know you may not know this,
But I've been here all along.
So set yourself up for success,
And nothing will go wrong.

You must feel it so much more
If it's even hurting me.
Please just open your eyes
And accept what you see.
