REFLECTED IN MY EYES

You now know
when you looked
what you saw
reflected in my eyes
Tears flowing
in my eyes

You saw
this quiet man
was not crying
for myself
I was crying for you
I grasped the pain
in your heart
You know
I see you
The pieces of your heart
are laid bare

Reflected in my eyes
are no tears
of my own
This quiet man’s
tears are yours
I cry your tears

You understood
this quiet man
suffers the anguish
in your soul
it shows
reflected in my eyes

you wondered how
this quiet man
felt
your heart
your soul
reflecting it all
in my eyes

Then you realised
you saw
you understood
The meaning
Of this quiet man’s silent words
The words
reflected in my eyes

Let go
pain of heart
fear in soul
No more cry
Yesterday’s tears
leave it all
to the past
Where the past belongs
It’s alright
to be loved
others can not hurt you
as others once did
let it go all
Pain
Fear
Anger
Love yourself again
so one day
Love will find you ready
to be truly loved
