The boy with the brown eyes
He carried a kind of sadness in his eyes.
The type that spoke a million words without ever daring to make a sound.
They reminded me that one thing is always certain in life.
It's that familiar sting, the endless burning from withheld tears.
The emptiness we sometimes feel between seasons.
Lonesome and scared, but filled with beautiful, earthy magic.
And though every single blink made me want to learn more, people aren't books.
And I didn't have a degree in making him crave my love.
Even when his eyes were begging for it.

The author encourages honest critique.
Even through this excellently inked poetic outpouring of sadness and deep hurt, I can't help but be a tad overjoyed to see your pen back on the page, dear poetess. You've so cleverly captured the oftentimes difficult navigation and well nuanced intricacies that relationships can sometimes take; profoundly and with such minimalistic gravitas.
I found this piece utterly moving and I'm sensitive to the fact that it might not have been easy to share such raw truth with us.
Well done and my heartfelt thank you.
Again, it's wonderful having you visit 🦋
