Brown Eyes

BROWN EYES With heartless, cruel intention Vicious words rolled off her tongue Like daggers sharp, they pierced his soul And every word, more damage done That moment tore his psyche apart His self-confidence declined An unrelenting hurt remains Wounded both in heart and mind Once deemed a perfect partnership Harbours some unhappiness Apprehension plagues his half Weighing down his confidence He hides his pain as time moves on Still she threatens him to the core Recurrent words, deliberate aim Like all the times before But the story has a silver lining As most grey clouds contain Now a wedge divides his love With another love obtained This love is one renewed Not something new out of the blue Where no one else would understand To her, he tells the truth Her trademark eyes, dark brown and deep Behold a remedy A steadfast heart of gold inside Is worn upon her sleeve She hopes her touch will soften, And his fears somehow consoled His confidence rebuilt, And his self-worth again restored For she knows a scar has settled And the pain's still real and true She hopes that like a soothing balm Her love helps mend his wound Brown eyes wants what's best for him His happiness matters too Brown eyes knows that all too well For she is living proof Though miles apart, she'll try her best To vacate those hurtful words And affirm when all is said and done A spirit broken reaps reward
