Dark Eyes

The windows to the soul are dark I see

They’re tinted with the night of hope that’s lost

And shattered, clinging piece to shattered piece

While trying to hide the convoluted mess

 

To trust might break the glass you’re holding up

You say it’s not a chance you want to take

World shattered once, you fear it will not stop

But ‘seems at times to build one first must break

 

You stare at me, I long to see inside

The portals boarded up, so hard to read

I want to ease the pain you try to hide

To help you feel the peace you really need

 

Let go’ the shattered panes of pain and fear

And fit the frame with hope that’s firm and clear
