Pain In Her Eyes Her gray eyes see right through you. They pierce your heart like a skewer. She sees who you really are, And yet she stays. You aren't a monster, You have your rough patches, Just like her. She willingly holds your hand like a child holds his mothers. She needs you more than she wants to admit, Even to herself. She wants to know the love she never had. She wants to feel vulnerable, She wants to feel natural, She wants to be herself and not what others want her to be. Her eyes show all the pain she's endured, Even though she won't let it show on her face. Her pen and paper show all of the feelings she can't let escape, She can't risk that show of emotion. Watch her smile and your heart would break. She who knows pain gives the best smiles.
