Through the Eyes

On July 6, 2015July 19, 2015 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry

With paled eyelids
no tears confined
where love once was
is no longer blind
but clear and coarse
it pierces the heart
resembling a war
of two worlds apart

  Thanks so much for your insightful comment, Ian. After I read it I realized there could be many interpretations than the one I meant it for…that’s the interesting fact about poetry.

  Thanks, Chris. It’s too bad sadness even exists but it’s nice that beauty can be seen through the darkness…♥ xo

  But I guess if it didn’t exist we wouldn’t know joy 😊❤️

I guess sometimes it’s better to see clearly.
