THROUGH HER EYE

She smiled and everyone loved the curve
They said her eye always glowed
But it’s the tear that was drying up
It was crying like a melting ice
Melting from the morning sun rays
She wished to cry
But the rain always covered her tear
So no one noticed her grief

Her mouth was dry
Dry because no one kissed them
Who wanted to kiss such lips
Lips that have tested every tear drop
Lips that embraced the salty that comes with sweat
Some sweat that was caused by a cry
And a little cocktail from tears

The admirable face vanished
That cute baby face that every man saw
The dimples that everyone admired
Became tear catchment areas
And the face gave some dry “rivers”
Rivers that carried tears all day long
And the pillow wiped the tears by night
Yet no one saw her grief

She got slim by day
And the ladies envyied every of her
For they saw her body charming
Men droolled for such ladies
The physique was carriable, romantic and seductive
But no one knew why she was lossing kilo
Stress killed her inside
Yet she gave the world the best
And her version always won the game
But no one could understand her grief

She hide behind closed doors by day
All nights she spend under the caves
Waves gave her solace
Closure was a nightmare she wished for
A nightmare she wanted to have even for a second
But nature always slapped her hard
People saw her prowess
And thought she must be making dollars
Especially with such exclusive figure
Lest did they know the truth
Grief got her Tangled in a spider web
And her muscles seemed to fail her
And attempts signaled battery low

She said am fine
A “fine” that came between sobes
And nobody noticed
For who could handle her mess
Mess that they didn’t bring to her
So she valued to live a lie
To live a fake life
And die like everything does
For she never thought anyone could remember her
Or better see her worth
And so grief killed her from inside

She became silent
They said she got attitude
When she talked
They mocked her
And thought she always had problems
Thought she always grieved
So she resolved to silence
Which proved to work better
Better than empty talks
Better than fake motivations
