Tragedy in her eyes

From behind the shimmer of her eyes
There’s some sadness staring
It’s not the everyday sadness
of people walking on the streets
Like the wounded bird
sitting on a tree branch
Watching the world go by sad
The tragedy sits behind her eyes watching
I know the world misses it
The world never appreciates depth
But the sadness in her eyes
Pierces my heart deep
It touches some strings in there
I believe to this day
It’s her eyes
The tragedy in her eyes is what inspires
These words I write
Like all things of beauty
This piece of beauty will fade
With time with the mundane
Slowly it will be stabbed to death
I pray I sincerely pray that it lasts
For me to look into it once again
Someday when my songs dry up
And I am staring at death blank
I pray this beauty finds me
To inspire my words all over again
