The eyes reveal more than you imagine. @newgirldark


Eyes

An eye that keeps the shadows,
a bottomless, nameless well.
In its glow, truths drown
that were never meant to be told.

Black, like the silence
before the soul breaks apart,
like tears falling softly
without asking the dark.

You look… and something dies,
slowly, without a sound.
Because some eyes don’t just see—
they pull you underground.

I love some of the phrasing you use in this poem. "Black, like the silence/before the soul breaks apart" is a good example.
Welcome to PoetBay. Blessings, Allen
