Ten

She had sad eyes. Sad eyes.

She hid them quite well

But he knew her face

With one look he could tell

She had sad eyes holding tears

The tears started to swell

One dropped on her cheek

She whispered, "I feel weak"

He replied, "Child, Its okay

Sometimes we all feel that way"

And she laughed - slow and pained

He could tell her happiness was feigned

Then she looked up with her sad eyes

And quietly said, "Everyone I love...

...dies"
