Hurt and Disappointment


I woke this morning to swollen eyes.

A haunting darkness encircles them,

the residual of the tears that had been shed the previous evening.

What sadness has stolen the bright smiling blue eyes

that normally highlight my face?

Nothing particularly dainty or pretty about my look,

but rather disappointment and distress.

I can only feel the torment that tantalizes my heart

while I try sorting out my confusion.

  8. As I write mainly fiction I tend to read others work that way too. So I am not going to sympathize with you but merely applaud your writing which was beautiful in its sadness.
