Broken down eyes

I tend to scour the web, looking at blogs that intrigue me, and get me motivated to write. This one especially, The Photodiarist, has some amazing photos. One in particular called "These Eye's have seen Miles" was particularly moving. The look in that mans eyes was so sad, I was almost brought to tears (sappy I know) but it looked like he had seen alot of hardship and pain, and my heart felt for him. Living in a privileged world where I have everything I need, I sometimes feel bad that there are people out there with little to nothing. This man made me realize how easy I have it, without saying a word, just looking at me with his broken down eyes.


These Eyes have seen Miles

These eyes have seen miles
And ocean deep skies
They have uncovered the truth
And feasted on lies
They’ve watched and they’ve waited
As people walk by
But these eyes, my eyes
Have seen a city die
Hope gone out
Like a broken streetlight
I sit here alone
And struggle with night
The cold creeps in
And tugs at my soul
I look at a myself
How did I become so old
So I’ll keep watching the crowds
Until I am saved
And observe broken street lights
Flicker and fade

Lyrical Love,
Cara

ps. This mini sized picture does the man no justice, I suggest you head over to The Photodiarist to check it out in a decent size, however I am unable to get a link working right now so please feel free to use good ol' fashioned google.
