Her Eyes

2010 Poem

Her eyes are red, 
from tears unshed. 
She followed as he lead, 
down a path that was dead. 

Like his heart. 

Her eyes burn with sadness, 
she cant forgive him or this. 
And to think it all started with a little kiss, 
who would have known that he would lead her to this monumental mess. 

Like his mind. 

Her eyes sting as she suppresses all that she may feel, 
as she covers the scars that will never heal. 
Her innocence is what he decided to steal, 
how she is now is so unreal. 

Like his feelings. 

Her eyes hurt as her vision begins to blur, 
as the tears betray her, 
and spill over like flood water. 
And leave her crying over and over. 

Like he did. 

Her eyes are red, 
with tears that have been shed. 
She lays there motionless on her bed, 
with the weight of the world still resting on her head. 

Because she cant let him go.

Excellent work... The man that makes you cry makes you feel, the irony of most women.
