Painted Eyes

I'm on my knees and writing
My fingers burn another line
In my attempts to dry your tears
When you're telling me you're fine

Crumpled tearstained pages
Lay scattered all around
Soaked to the point of shredding
With the pain that I have found

With bravery and beauty
You have painted over your eyes
Hiding behind the dripping coat
Cradled in disguise

But I will one day find you
And you'll have no need to hide
I have learned what is inside you
Through all the paint that I have dried

Wow!
Powerful graphic!

Locked Behind the Lashes

You huddle in grief from the pain
and I wish that I could say all of it was due
to the actions of another.

I wipe your tears with the pages of our novel
wondering if any of it was worth writing
to have left you beset this way.

Open your arms, reach through to me
and let us make this day the first of many
that will heal the wounds between us.

I came across it this morning and could not get it out of my head. It made me think of someone special.

Love your interpretation!

Letting go of the one you love

I see beauty in your eyes
even if you're knee deep
in blood sweat and tears

I want to hold you close
but my harrowing past
still controls my mind

so I need to let you go.

I'll never forget you,

never.

You should post this. It inspiring and I think people who are struggling to let go might find strength in this.

Not me, lol

I'll never let go ; )
