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
