Verses of the Lunatic

Eyes

As for an explanation—
         to the lines under her eyes,
Black as they were,
          she never wondered why

 
Maybe you need to look at him
And see you for yourself
     the grief held together in one person
Who can love but not allowed;
Been given love but can't receive;
Thought free but never was

 
Until those sank in her head
          and then came her sleepless nights
