Chestnut


When u look into my chestnut eyes do u see my story.?
The story of a young woman afraid to love.! 
Do you see my uncried tears and my hidden, buried anger?
I hide my emotions so well, sometimes I can’t even tell.
Years and years of built up frustration, pain and sorrow. I hate to cry.
I don't want ppl to see my weak side. 
Time after time, I leave my heart open to new things.
But in the end, there is only more pain.
Nonetheless I will never let my heart turn cold. Never let somebody pay for another’s mistakes. 
When you look into my chestnut eyes, do you see my story.?
