If you look closely, you might see the full story
But don’t look away, for you might miss an important detail
Those eyes carry so much emotion, so much weight
That if you’re not careful you could drown
How she handles that much force
Most do not understand, but they try
The pain surging through those gray flittering moments
The sorrow that drags those unprepared into their own watery graves
The fierceness of the anger as the tide surges
Wiping out every glimpse of hope and happiness
Until that moment when her gaze meets another
The calming of the storm, the sudden grounding she can feel
The soft meadows of grass, beckoning the lapping of the waves closer
A quiet hush as the wind dies down and the waves soften
He sees her pain, but does not pick or pry
Keeping his footing as to not fall down the hole
Holding her hand to save her from the current
She lets out a breath of relief
She can relax now and sleep
Those ocean blue eyes that tell her story
Close until another day
And another soul gets caught in her gaze
In hopes those green eyes can save her once more
