Russell Sivey Poet Verse

Sunken Eyes

A dull expression on her face
Sure leaves one wondering
What is within this lacking face
Dark eyes, sunken feeling

Lips seem parched needing some water
Keeps the face desperate
Eyes hollow, staring off beyond
A look that’s desolate

Maybe she’ll snap out of it soon
For her funk is real bad
She has a listless fortitude
She’s awful just a tad
