Exploring the Darkness

May 24, 2017- Heartbreak and Loss Naive, I was intrigued, by the darkness; endless, deep, and empty. I saw it in the eyes of one I loved, but who could never have loved me. A mere child, I did not understand, what it was that darkness did mean. It looked as though it went on forever, so forever I would spend searching. Then, every time I was allowed a glimpse, that darkness would enrapture me. Enraptured, I stared long and hard at the abyss, continuously, endlessly, searching... A long time had passed in this state, seasons had come and gone unnoticed by me. Until one inevitable day, I found out, that beautiful darkness' meaning. "The eyes are the windows to the soul", that is, at least, the usual saying. That particular soul, indeed, did mirror the vast emptiness I searched thoroughly. After hypnotic eyes had cast me from view, and undone the spell they had been casting. I thought I could expect to recover, return, to the happy, free, person I used to be. I gave up on this hope, after some years had passed, and I realized what had happened to me. That darkness, it crept, deep into my soul, now my eyes are as dark as they could be.
