Behind Her Eyes

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 


There's a story 
there

you can see the 
depth 

the sorrow
the yesterdays 

too painful 
to talk about

just behind
her eyes

  6. What an insightful poem in such sparse words. This is haunting and, oh, so revealing. What’s that quote? “Eyes are the window to the soul.” Maybe I’m not remembering correcting. No matter, I really like this poem, Penny.
