Behind Her Eyes

Swap Quatrain

Her dulled eyes scream for a new life
the absence of a smile cuts like a knife
her pain flows in an anguished stream,
for a new life her dulled eyes scream.

Lights search through her nightmares
for someone unselfish enough to care
hope taunts from its golden perch,
through her nightmares lights search.

Anger flows in torrents from her pen
creating a moment of peaceful zen
behind her eyes you can see it's vacant,
from her pen anger flows in torrents.
