Peeling Sadly

Layers around these eyes

peeling out

one at a time

turning into heavy spheres

they hurt, they go

she wonders at times

Were they even mine ?

these eyes witnessed her fading in pain

for her to heal ,her eyes thickened within

Then it was time

she was ready

they hurt, they go

Layers around her eyes

peeling out

one at a time

weighless

languageless

They hurt

They sting

as she let them go
