I remember how her eyes lit up
At the sight of a flitting bird.
I remember how her eyes looked down
Pretended the harsh words were unheard.
I remember how those eyes changed
When she realized she could be loved.
I remember how her eyes drained
When she found she wasn’t his only one.
I remember how her eyes turned dark
Swallowed, chewed up, released.
I remember how her eyes recovered
And she learned to smile again.
I remember how her eyes changed once more
When she learned who would treat her right.
I remember how her eyes grew tears
When it came to say goodbye.
