Sad Eyes – Written Thursday 30th December 2004 (Aged 29)

Sad Eyes

when you look at me
sad eyed and lost
i feel for you
sad for your dreams
which remain far away
sad because someone is not close
and you can only count the days
you vulnerability,
does not mark your approach
in fact,
it displays itself
like the prettiest broach
when you look at me
reaching out for a touch
a feeling of warmth
somethings are a must
sad eyed and lost
your face dazzling in all its emotions
sad for you
because someone is not near
sad because inside –
you have a deep well of tears
one that seems to know no depth
and then, when it flutters
you feel that heart in your chest
