The Secret in their eyes

Looking at her, I understood those are the saddest eyes one can stare

Like two sad stars, they had learnt to hide the chaos in the heart

But what pained me most, the way she smiled fighting her angst

Not letting the world know that she is hurt

I had hoped I will help her through the darkness

But I felt like a firefly trying to lend light to a burning sun

So I returned, without looking back once

With each step I took, I felt the breaking of the bridge that connected us both

But I kept walking, searching for all the excuses I will make, in the time to come

Why didn’t I stay back, why didn’t I fight for my place

Alas , but such is life; so many questions yet so few answers

All lost in the secret in their eyes
