sad eyes
oh sad eyes,
look up,
try to see—
it’s not over.
you didn’t break,
you didn’t falter.
i know it’s hard,
harder to deny—
sometimes you
have to let them go
before your soul dies.
you can’t carry two worlds
when only one is yours.
look at me,
sad eyes,
i promise
it’ll be okay.
sometimes you
have to build walls,
draw a line in the sand.
sad eyes,
please understand—
it doesn’t mean hate,
it means you chose peace
over conflict.
maybe one day
you’ll cross paths again,
and both of you
will understand.
sad eyes,
look up,
try to see—
this is not
the end of you.
A poem I wrote to remind myself that choosing peace doesn’t mean failure. Sometimes protecting your soul means letting go, even when it hurts.
