These Eyes

Simplicity and ComplexityPoetry
Artwork by: Michaela Dejesus

These eyes hold
A million stories left untold
Behind this heart
Is a work of art
All these things are left unseen
Because of what’s in front of me

The eyes bleed
The heart cries
Deep inside that work of art
Is a dark, deep hole that cannot be seen
Because it is inside of me.
