I looked into those eyes

I looked into those eyes 

As a part of her dies; 

I didn't ask 

She didn't answer. 

Who is this lady 

I wondered... 

On the outside she is lovely 

From the inside a catastrophe// 

 

She is bred from the same blood 

Been in the same place; 

Yet there is something she hid 

And never let it show on her face. 

She didn't lie, 

But never told the truth 

If you demanded for it, she would repel 

If you didn't, she would never tell.

 

I stood there confused, 

Staring into those eyes 

As they held all the mysteries, 

Till she died.

Dark. I think this story describes something that's inside of us all. Great description :)

[Relic]

There are people we will never understand. I've often thought about people I used to know that held them in sadness for whatever reason I'll never know. Mysteries indeed. This poem brings back memories and made me think.

[Shivai]

Oh yes, people are puzzles, some of which cannot be solved by anyone but themselves.
I hope that the memories this poem got back to you were pleasant.
Thanks for the review.

There are always things that one carries to the grave with them.
I looked into my wife's eyes as she lay dying from cancer; unblinking and open only as slits for the last two days of her life. I wondered if she could see me, and I wondered what lay buried deep behind them, unknown to me.
Thank you. Wonderful write.

I am so sorry for your loss.
True, people are more mysterious than we think they are.
Thank you Rick!

I like the twist and the turn of the poem.
"She didn't lie,
But never told the truth
If you demanded for it, she would repel
If you didn't, she would never tell."
You left the reader with visions and places. Dreams are warnings. If we are stressed-out. Bad dream will come. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
