I once knew this woman who had the most beautiful eyes
With tears streaming down both sides
A steady flow, much like a stream
Flowing past her full pink lips
Falling off her chin like a waterfall
I had never seen her like this
She was always so strong
Knocking life down each time she got up from his fists knocking her down
And yet
Those beautiful eyes never cried waterfalls until now
As she sat there watching the best part of herself
Watch her
She closed her eyes
And for the first time flowed with the river
Pushing past everything she thought she couldn’t conquer
Giving the best part of herself a chance
I once knew this woman who had the most beautiful eyes
And I still do
Sincerely,
The best part of you

I once knew this woman who had the most beautiful eyes
With tears streaming down both sides
A steady flow, much like a stream
Flowing past her full pink lips
Falling off her chin like a waterfall
I had never seen her like this
She was always so strong
Knocking life down each time she got up from his fists knocking her down
And yet
Those beautiful eyes never cried waterfalls until now
As she sat there watching the best part of herself
Watch her
She closed her eyes
And for the first time flowed with the river
Pushing past everything she thought she couldn’t conquer
Giving the best part of herself a chance
I once knew this woman who had the most beautiful eyes
And I still do
Sincerely,
The best part of you
