Behind Her Eyes

. Behind her eyes do you see a deep blue good-bye or is it just a trick of light. . Behind her eyes do you see it's Open Season and maybe just maybe this is where it all ends. . Behind his eyes do you see fire ants of hate or is it just the he she's never known . Behind his eyes do you see a gathering of sharp objects or is it just a sickness of shadows . Behind the closed door do you see random acts of war or are they just playing with fire. . Behind closed doors do you think they've gone beyond the limits or is it all just a test of wills . Behind her eyes ...........................Behind his eyes Behind closed doors ...........................Behind high walls is it is it time to be afraid to at last be afraid that they will end their endless strife and there'll soon be 412 bones lurching across the Great Divide or worse is it time to be afraid to at long long last be afraid that caught in a state of siege they are forever trapped in their dark paradise lost in their bitter promised land. . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~©2017Susan Williams
