Child Lost
April 13, 2012
Brown eyes filled with tears
he watches her
and waits for this point in his life to come
slowly she cuts
blood worth a thousand years of pain flows
the sound of it like a million breaking walls
He tells a blue-eyed girl of these troubles
of his list
his ways of going
she pleads with him not to leave
Don't follow in her footsteps
we ask
child lost in this maze
of turmoil and loss
we are here for you

I enjoy the way you focused on *eyes*.. they can tell alot about the person. There is a certain ambiguity to this that makes it all the more real.
