SUNKEN EYES

 

behind those eyes

behind those eyes are untold stories 

untold stories of heartbreaks

lies, deceit, jilt and heartache

love never reciprocated 

feelings abandoned and smeared 

heart shattered to the floor 

it’s pieces left to wither 

behind those sunken eyes are stories 

mental battles, broken pats

psychological meltdown and wars 

nailed by sweet-twisted alluring tongues 

without a second look

you are already looking zonked 

all energies drained from your fragile soul 

unsteady, you walk on thin lines feeling able 

you know we all make mistakes right?

suicide isn’t an option 

get your butt up and breathe in fresh air

break that seal you’ve placed on your heart 

open up your heart to love again

remember when love was created, hurt was her twin 

we live to be hurt and learn, then re-learn 

until we meet the soul that flows with our rhythm 

we haven’t truly lived and loved
