In Her Eyes
‘In her eyes, fathomless the pool of sadness’
There’s a sorrow she won’t let go
A melancholy in her that’s taken residence
She welcomes it and nurtures it
Deep down in the depths of her soul
Her heart no longer an empty shell
She welcomes its warm familiarity
Feeding it like a lost kitten
She needs it and it needs her
Soothing and divine she treasures it
She cajoles it and loves it more than life itself
