Piercing Eyes Glare


Piercing eyes glare at unfamiliar faces Awaiting rejection So use to backs being turned, hearts being broken There's rejection. Unrevealed truths, broken promises Crushing fragile hearts that were already languid Unspoken thoughts, thoughts that kill Kill the soul. Silence piled on silence, never ending silence that accompanied angry souls. Piercing eyes glaring at unfamiliar faces waiting for rejection Unfamiliar with open hearts waiting to love rejection dissapeared. Sincerity followed by honesty Acceptance Warming hearts that never caught a glimpse of light Evolving thoughts, thoughts that renew...heal the soul. Appreciation backed up by love, self obtained love That accompanied doubtful hearts There's acceptance Acceptance that changed lives.
