Tears

Tears

 

Eyes so dark, yet full of soul,

The soul, that lies within,

These eyes carry the weight of the world,

Until, the light burns dim.

 

Eyes that look, for something lost,

Long gone, but not forgotten,

These eyes will hurt, till time has gone,

But will never leave forgotten.

 

Eyes so near and yet so far,

As he lies, beneath the ice,

As if these eyes, could say no less,

For his tears, alone at night.

 

Eyes that say, a thousand words,

Of the man, who lies beneath,

Eyes that seem, as cold as steel,

Like a sword, without its sheath.

 

Now, the eyes of another,

Swiftly try to melt his stare,

How can she lift, this weight alone?

As he casts a painful glare.

 

And yet her eyes, are filled with love,

As she smiles, upon this man,

Her eyes say more, than he will know,

But for him, she has no plan.

 

Her eyes have dealt, a thousand blows,

And been dealt, more than they should,

These eyes, don’t see the pain but love,

The man thinks, she never could.

 

Her eyes have seen, the pain of death,

Still shy from what they said,

These eyes that shine, from a heart of gold,

A heart, she thought, was dead.

 

***

His soul, is blackened by the pain,

From the one, who came before,

This soul reaches, for the stars above,

Yet, is never quite forgiven.

 

A soul that, has so many chains,

In a prison cell, of pain,

His soul is dark, just like his eyes,

But he will never, know true time.

 

His soul will live, in a place,

So far, beyond the sun,

A life of pain, has hurt this soul,

What has he ever done?

 

And yet, there is a burning light,

Flickering in the stillness,

The light, from a soul that cannot lie,

Concealed in all its darkness.

 

Her soul, is shattered by the past,

A past, no one has shared,

Her soul, so lonely and yet so warm,

No wonder she is scared.

 

Her soul is drawn, towards the light,

That shines, within this man,

Her soul, is patient and loves the same,

But no one says she can.

 

Her soul is healing, wounds from the past,

All the bad things, life has dealt them,

And yet, her soul, remains the same,

No pain, on Earth, can touch them.

 

The light, that shines, within her soul,

Burns brighter, as it grows,

A soul that heals, a soul that glows,

If the light, remains unbroken.

 

One soul, cannot be without the other,

One night apart is hell,

Their souls so linked, in mind and heart,

Let them be forever.

*** 

His heart, is broken like a glass,

Shattered, by rock from a mountain,

His heart, so fragile and so torn,

The pain flows, just like a fountain.

 

His heart, as it begins to heal,

Reveals a love so strong,

A truth, his heart can only say,

Through those eyes, that stare so long.

 

His heart, is to be believed,

As it can only, speak the truth,

A heart that carries, so much pain,

And anger is so near.

 

And the flame, within his heart,

Burns brighter, by the day,

His heart, is hoping for someone,

To help him, find his way.

 

Her heart, was broken long ago,

By a man, she thought, she trusted,

The jagged edge, of the knife went through,

And stayed, until it rusted.

 

Her heart, is like the precious stone,

Found once, upon a lifetime,

If she gives her heart, look after it,

As it comes, with the promise, of love.

 

A flame within, her heart like fire,

Melts, the man, she touches,

Though the heart, eyes & soul are strong,

She is crying, the tears of love.

 

When their hearts meet, upon this earth,

May we hear, the angels sing,

And send their light, across the world,

So everyone may see…

 

This, is what love is.

Man, I hope I'm not off base here but it sounds like "what goes around, comes around." It doesn't sound like he did anything to her - but what happened was inevitable due to what happened to her. I really feel for him. This is how many times secrets can hurt us. Very sincere write! I love what you did with this.

Sorry its taken me so long to respond I've been somewhat busy with other things besides writing. It's not entirely what I meant by this but I'm not at all surprised you see it that way. It was written about two people who had been hurt badly in the past by their previous partners (not each other) coming together to heal each other's pain and build a stronger, deeper and better bond of love for the future. It was a way of saying by understanding our past we can create a better future...doesn't always work though, it requires effort and sacrifices that some people just aren't willing to make! :'(
