Eyes…

I gaze deeply into your dark eyes,

For just a moment, I can touch your soul.

I see your never ending pain,

            the scars life has given you,

                        the conflict boiling inside you.

The darkness is a shroud.

So many tears have washed over those eyes.

            so much pain.

Is there anything left of you?

Can you feel anything but the infinite darkness?

I’m afraid I cannot reach you through the depths of hell.

I no longer have anything left to give you…

            for if I do, you’ll surely pull me under,

to be trapped forever in your misery.
