Those Eyes
In the world of darkness I lay
Staring into the eyes of a body
In the depth of sadness and misery I stare into those eyes
That lay miles away in the light
Yet in the brightness of the daylight And behind those bright, happy eyes
I stare into a hole in them
Where pain and emptiness hide from the outer world
In that moment
I realized that we're no different
Those eyes were only hiding
What lies beneath the happiness and joy
Those eyes held an unbearable pain
That was invisible
From the eyes of the others
But it wasn't invisible for me
It was crystal clear
And I was going to be there for her
Because I knew the pain she felt
I knew how it feels to be in pain with no shoulder to cry on
I knew how much it hurts to smile when there's tears, dying to flow out
So, I did what I always wanted for others to do for me
I went there to those eyes
I sat in the daylight and hid my pain just like they did
I sat there next to her
And held her hand
"I'm here for you"
