The Other Side of The Soul

Beautiful little tired-eyed woman

Those who try to stay strong in the sea of life

When left in a brain space full of many things

Outwardly cute she wields a shield with full strength

Bitter sinks so deep into her body

Silent if empty noisy if crowded

Dark, gray, foggy, endlessly surround and string her

The low cry in her heart is so loud but not heard

Concerned that I barely glanced at her, saw her, did I ever try to understand her?

Herself and myself

I almost never try to always be with her. I never felt that I was playing with her, listening to her stories and voices.

I say that I really love her but I always hide to pretend I don't know when I hear the heavy rain groans from her beautiful eyes.

Beautiful tired-eyed little woman

You and I, uniform, but never together and in line
