Rue the day
Shake your fists and stomp away
Leave the cast in disarray behind
Down the street
Confronting everyone you meet
You're pointing daggers in the face of the blind
Blame away if it gets you through the day
Let's just see who even dares
To lay beside you at night
Seven years
You took a blanket soaked with tears
To face the diary of her fears
And emerge unafraid
The flowered dress
It hung along with all the rest
The one that made her catch her breath
Like it was tangled in lace
Now and then
When the fears show up again
She can stare into their eyes
And all they see is her grace
You're walking right to me
You're looking right through me
But I can see you
He sees her there
In a wave of auburn hair
And he is suddenly unaware
Of his anger and hate
She sees him there
In a full on three mile stare
But she knows that she was there
In a dark, distant place
Rue the day
That they crossed each other's way
The predator, the prey
And the space in between
You're walking right to me
You're looking right through me
But I can see you
