Those Brown Eyes

by AngelicDecadence   Jan 22, 2009


Wise eyes older than her years,
They have seen more than most,
Glowing warmly with hidden shame,
Most don't know that smile's to blame.

The tears flow from those brown eyes,
Descending down her soft cheek,
She tries to cover up the site,
Wanting no one to ask her tonight.

Wraps her arms around herself,
She falls into the warmth of sleep,
Dreams of blankets and sheets of love,
Can't imagine a place above.

Pain and sorrow follow her endlessly,
She can't seem to find some peace,
But despite this, forever she will try,
Even if it means she might die.

    Well written! I read through a few of your other poems, and this one stuck out the most to me and here's why...

    First off, the poem was well written with a nice flow. The meaning behind this write was very deep and actually brought a few tears to my eyes.

    Secondly, unlike your other poems, you didn't use an abundance of I, me, he, she, her, his and so forth in this write, which actually increased the deepth and made this a better write in my opinion.

    Overall, nice simplistic write with meaning that others may be able to relate to. Well done and keep up the good work!

    Peace, Joe

    You send out a powerful message about how mature and wonderful the person has become and how they can share that with other people. Nice work.
