The Sadness in Her Eyes
Years of being used and hurt takes its toil
The Sadness in Her Eyes
The sadness in her eyes
tells a tale of years
of betrayal, hurt,
and unspoken fears.
She gave her kindness,
her love, and her trust,
only to find it all
trampled deep in the dust.
Family and friends took,
they took and they took,
breaking her heart
with every single bad turn.
Used, but stood by them
through thick and thin,
but they used her kindness
without a hint of remorse,
leaving her worn and weary.
Her spirit once bright,
now dims and drifts,
chiseled by years
of being scorned and torn.
Yet in her gaze,
a flicker remains
a glimmer of hope that someday,
kindness will sustain her.
For even in the depths
of pain she endures,
she dreams of love
that comes without chains.
A heart once whole,
now scarred and forlorn,
still yearning for
the love that can be reborn.
Until that day,
she’ll carry on,
with strength and grace,
though battles are drawn.
For deep within her heart,
she knows the truth:
that kindness is
the greatest proof.

This was so relatable. Loved it!
There's a reason why they say the eyes are a window into the soul. Everything we are, everything we've been, and everything we can be are reflected in there. A beautiful piece!
This is beautifully bittersweet! A tale of hurt, hope, and the quiet strength to keep going. That flicker of kindness shines through it all—just lovely! 💕
