Your Sad Eyes

When I look at you I see such pain behind your eyes,

Deep scars that can never be removed,

Fierce with anger and regret,

When I’m next to you I can feel your heartbeat,

Passion short lived and pain lingers,

Steady beats with breaths of selfishness,

When I lay in your arms,

I feel secure yet, jaded by your twitches,

Silence blankets me from the breathing that stops moment to moment,

When your lips touch mine,

It’s ever so changing, disregard all the others,

Closing my eyes pretending this is real,

Cold with no emotion, I feel my body tremble,

A sanctuary of promises, of strength and life,

Yet your needs are ever binding, and mine are forgotten,

There is little sunshine in what you do,

Be careful for that candy will take over you,

As the weather changes so do you,

You disguise your feelings to numb your thoughts,

Letting your inner demon take over your soul,

You battle yourself yet you do not see it,

Forcing yourself to silence and stealing your rest,

You are weak, tired, alone…
