In Her Eyes

There is darkness in her eyes

It is deep inside and very angry

Something or someone stole the light

And left behind a dark cavern

Ready to erupt like a roaring volcano

It boils deep inside of her soul

Tangled around everything good

The angry holds her and refuses to let go

There has to be a way in

A way to break through and

Find at least a glimmer of light

Buried even deeper in her hurting soul.

Looking into her beautiful blue eyes

They are ice cold, no warmth, just hate

No love, no hope, no compassion

Only the haunting, scary darkness

Someone hurt her badly back then

In a day long ago, but still present today

As real as the moment it happened

And there is no escaping it’s death grip.

You can see it in her eyes.
