look around

Look around

And she stood there and said so brave
Are these lives not good enough for you to save
You’re brave enough to stand here but not to answer me
Look at us we’re falling to pieces or are you too blind to see

He shakily stood there not knowing what to say
For he did not picture this to happen today
Not realising how bad he affected them he wanted to explain
But he could not so his eyes feel to the ground in shame

The girl stares at him, can you not answer me or look me in the eye
He shivers in fear and tilts his head as if to try
The girl stand silently not daring to back down
For she believes she can stand her ground

He wearily looks around, this is what his life has made
Are the screams and terror ever going to fade
All because he made one terrible mistake
And now these peoples lives and hearts are on stake

Only know figuring out how young the girl is
Too young to be facing such things as this
He cannot fix it but he should walk away
They both know he is not welcomed to stay

Taking one last look at the things he has done
Know knowing these people have never had no fun
He steps back and turns on his heel and slowly walks away
Hearing a release of breath from the girl realising she is no longer the prey
