Pretty Brown Eyes

This is more os a freestyle piece. Taken from the pages of my personal journals : )

When ever I’m around you,

All you’ll see from now on is a smile.

No more attitude or tears allowed.

I refuse to continue to let you see.

What you have done to me.

And it will eat you up inside, as you wonder why,

I’m so cheery and there’s a twinkle in my pretty brown eyes.

Is it because I’m getting over you?

Maybe I found someone new?

You won’t have a clue.

But let me assure you, there is no other man in my life.

I’m just starting to deal with the shock of no longer being your wife.

I will live one day at a time, happiness is what I’ll try to find.

But if I’m hurting, I will hide it well from you, doing what ever I have to.

You pretended to love me, like I loved you,

 but the whole time you never felt the same.

So now I will hide all my frustration and shame.

My expressions will never change.

I’ll do for you, same as I use to.

Putting on a good show, you will never know.

But when I’m alone, my eyes are swollen from tears.

I cry uncontrollably, because you will never again notice me.

I lost you and you’re never coming back, I need to deal with that.

Still does not change the fact that I love you and want you near.

I have the power to make you disappear, but that’s what I fear.

I can’t be cold, and don’t want to live my life alone.

So if I can try to push my pain aside,

Maybe I can show you the beautiful woman you left behind.

But for now, I will do what I can.

Put a smile on my face and start making plans.

One day you will realize,

No other woman was as dedicated to you as I.

You will see the truth, when ever you look into,

My pretty brown eyes…

"Pretty Brown Eyes (You're Breaking My Heart)". Came to mind as soon as I dove into this piece. Sometimes an artists best works are conceived thru pain. This is very personal and revealing, so it's a beautiful, beautiful thing to see you working thru it.

Stay beautiful and strong.
Keep scribing!

Reminds me of a song with a line that goes, can't get over losing you. But you did!
