Eyes Opened

Walking on shaky ground, pretending I don't see

Caught in a web of lies, is this really meant to be?

He plays the part so well, acting single with a smile

Meanwhile behind my back, he's gone for miles

Raise his voice, blame and shame, a mirror of his fears

Hidden whispers, stolen glances, revealing tears

Trying to hold my ground while he's spinning tales

Lost in a storm that seems to never fail

This isn’t freedom, just avoidance in disguise

Silent treatment, breaking me inside

Expecting loyalty but fueling insecurity

Changed me, broken me, set my eyes free

Talking to other women, secrets he keeps tight

Behind my back, he delves into the night

Work and friends, a shield for his silent war

While my heart is tired, my spirit scarred

Silence as a punishment, a cruel control

Nervous systems broken, losing their soul

They're nervous, not overreacting, just afraid to feel

For safety’s lost, the pain is real

This isn’t freedom, just avoidance in disguise

Silent treatment, breaking me inside

Expecting loyalty but fueling insecurity

Changed me, broken me, set my eyes free

Eyes opened wide, I see the truth now clear

No more hiding, no more fear

Breaking free from chains that held me tight

Finding my strength in the fading light

I’ve changed, I’ve grown, I’ve found my way

No longer lost in the shadows of yesterday

Rising from the ruins, finally true

This is my life, my strength, anew
