This is my attempt at the It's in the Eyes prompt! Thanks for the challenge http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com/! And by the skin of my teeth I made the 75 word limit....with exactly 75 words! Hope you all enjoy :)
My eyes
Your eyes
Her eyes
Look into these eyes!
What do you see?
Can you see?
Everything is going wrong
Corruption has taken its toll
The life of a woman has been drained
Lost, without the mother’s roll
My existence was her doing
What could be left
She taught me love
And now I’m bereft
A flicker of life is all that remains
Now empty are her eyes
Back from whence she had came
