Those Eyes

a poem by Karthik Sridhar

She comes to me in the dark of the night
A haunting image that has gripped my heart
It warms my soul, like a guiding light
Yet I know we will be apart forever

In those eyes I will drown forever
That smile I will keep as a memory
Of the times we shared, both the good and bad
You’ll never know what you mean to me

Love, I never expected to be easy
Love, this hard, how will I survive
Better to have loved and lost, small words
Offers little comfort, they don’t know it hurts

Maybe it was never meant to be
But you will always be a part of me
You gave me something they can’t take away
May be I’ll see those eyes again someday

Those eyes had tears for me
Those eyes, they could see inside of me
Those eyes, they will never lie to me
Those eyes, they are so beautiful
Those eyes…
