The eyes look
do they really see
what's hidden deep inside me

The eyes look
they pierce my flesh
the blood flows fresh

The eyes look
there's no feeling there
just a flat blank stare

The eyes look
from behind the mask
removing it, enormous task

The eyes look
examine my bare soul
try to discern my role

The eyes look
beneath the surface deep
hidden secrets they keep

The eyes look
hatred fills the room
my heart feels impending doom


 Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end.

This really struck me at the end.  I don't think I expected such a powerful ending.  This one made me think.

Such longing in these eyes ...
nicely portrayed ... sad the view.

The eyes look, the heart feels, and the soul suffers....
~~very emotional writing LW ~~

Marge -
Yes, much longing there and the view is sad now, but tomorrow is a brighter day.  Thank you as always for reading.  

DH -
That is it exactly.  Feeling very emotional these days.
