Sorrowful Eyes

Hidden beneath those sorrowful eyes

drifting in and out of darkness

the melancholy night deep within

my sight captured in the shattered girl

that lies behind your teary eyes



You try to conceal those hopes

broken with a telling of engagements

he avoids your inquiry about his affections

his actions remain a blur to those gloomy eyes

bravery, my sister, a gift I wish to share



My dearest friend, through thick and thin,

through blood and water, we have been

nothing to prepare us for this feelings

where you go, I shall follow

with helpful arms ready to catch you



My heart follows your's through the endless gates

shackles the heart's mind in your time

sympathy shared between you and me

I realize the terror in the back of your eyes

yearning to keep tears at bay
