Her eyes

her dark eyes carry the weight 
of stories never told aloud
they are deep wells of knowing
reflecting both the tenderness 
she gives freely
and the ache she keeps hidden 
they hold the hush
of midnight rooms 
and the echo of emotions 
that learned to survive
without language 
in them lives a patience 
shaped by longing
a softness that’s guarded 
by storms already weathered 
her eyes do not ask
to be understood 
they ask to be felt
and once they are they linger
long after the moment has passed

  1. We never truly know the weight that people carry. But most of us have joy and sorrow balanced altogether deep inside in some form. So that’s why every time we look into someone’s eyes, we should smile back at them with our own. That way we’re telling them that they aren’t alone in this journey. You certainly aren’t alone bestie! 🙂❤️
