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
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! 🙂❤️
Aww, thank you! You are right here, we’ll said ♥️🙂
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen eyes like you’ve described.
You more than likely have indeed.
