Pretty Blue Eyes
Don’t know how this all could have happened
Just meeting with friends at the mall
Drinking smoothies and shopping for purses
I just can’t make sense of it all
I remember this guy at the food court
He said I had pretty blue eyes
In a flash we walking and laughing
With my friend and these two other guys
A week had gone by and he texted
To get coffee and see his new car
We spent hours while drinking our lattes
Said his house was not really that far
Said he had to go check on his sister
Then he offered to give me a ride
Not sure what he put in my coffee<
Or why this new friend would have lied
In a minute my world was just spinning
There was not a clear thought in my head
I was bruised and my clothes were all tattered
My hands tied to the post of a bed
I heard men who were talking about prices
Tried to figure out what that could be
In an instant my life had just vanished
As I found out… the bargain was me
No more Christmas or Birthdays or family
No more tears were allowed to be cried
And that once little girl from the food court
Though she’s breathing has already died
No more hope that one day they would find me
For the months now have turned into years
He reminds me as he beats me daily
There is nobody out there who cares
The shell of a woman now lies here
That girl disappeared with those guys
And there’s not much that I can remember
Except once …… I had pretty blue eyes
