Haunted Eyes

Your haunted eyes seem to stare through me

I wonder what it is that you can see

When was the last time your eyes shone bright,

Without this heaviness that’s stolen your glee?

Your eyes are shadowed, devoid of light

How does what I see differ from your sight?

Could there be an eerie tint to things you view

With those eyes of yours that contain no fight?

What your haunted eyes see, I have no clue

But they’ve seen so much, I know that’s true

They carry the weight of scarring scenes

Fogging your eyes so I can’t see through
