Hiding in my eyes

by earlgreytea   Apr 11, 2013


You tired of sadistic games,
when I would not contend.
You tried breaking me with tyranny,
but i refused to bend.
I saw you hiding in the dark,
so I embraced the light.
But when the sun's rays shone on me,
I wished again for night.
The sanctity of suffering,
so quickly turned to hate.
And the clarity i found in pain,
whispered my bleak fate.
For my tenacious rancor,
(who wished for my demise.)
was hiding deep inside of me,
Yes...Hiding in my eyes.

    Good one. I liked the ending. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. Hidden to those who can't see it in your eyes. Not sure if that was your intention but it made sense that way - really clicked.

      I am terrible with eye-contact.... ;) (Joking) No you understood it, most people base judgements of people on face value and never really delve deeper, they hear what they want to hear and don't question it. Tears of a clown type thing except with different feelings, in a different context. It's all about perspective and you got it. :)

    Another good write, I like your choice of wording also, use of words that flow so sharply off the tongue. And the contention with light and dark relating with a relationship you experienced is my perception, someone that brought a darkness into your life. 5/5
