Her eyes,
    they weep.
Her head,
    lies deep.

  In the homeless drudgery.
Something I wish I could.
  Give to her for free.

Her eyes,
    look at me.
Her head,
    points to the ground.

   Embarassed I can see.
Saddness, three siblings.
   without food or shelter.

and then she smiles.
bringing tears to my eyes.

                   Love,

This cuts to the bone.  Stark emotion with no apology.

Excellent phrasing.  Thank you for sharing it.

I'm with icebox, this does cut.  Such a sad state of being.

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
