“Eyes”
Eyes that lead to the soul of a broken heart
Revealing the path of their hidden anger.
Hiding behind a facade that keeps them apart
While searching for love from even a stranger.
Yearning for acceptance and devotion
Searching for a light that will make them whole.
Still empty and filled with mixed emotions
Still searching for a place that’s not cold.
Eyes shedding the tears they so try to hide.
Building a facade they must hide behind.
Creating a blurred vision from the tears they have cried
Enduring the pain left embedded in their mind.

Lovely entry here. I love how you brought out those different emotions of pain, anger and sorrow. And how there’s an absence of light in the person’s life? Wonderful write and good luck in the contest

Ah, there we go.
Now, on with the comment.
I loved the portrayal of these eyes you have written. It was so raw, and so full of life, and pain. I think you're really on to something here. The darkness in those eyes...it seems haunting, yes? You've written this to perfection, and I thank you for entering. Good luck.
