BROWN EYES

Why so sad, brown eyes?
Why so forlorn, bewildered, fragile?
Why so sad, brown eyes?
Why so grazed, bruised, scarred?
Why so sad, brown eyes?
Eyes wide open
heart so broken
yearnings never to be fulfilled
Prayers that will only fall flat at dawn.
Tear stained blanket,
wrapped around your frame
can't contain the pain and pinch.

Why so sad, brown eyes!
This heart of mine shredded once more
Hope and faith tried once more
confidence wilting
trying to stand but shaken
Hands stretched to hold yet unable to.
Mouth shut agape
inexplicable!
Numb, yet feeling
Pained, yet hopeful
Sad, yet joyful
Don't be so sad Brown eyes.
