Topic: Black and Blue
by Melina Raven Maness DieboldI saw your eyes when I talked to you
and couldn't believe what was staring back
the iris that once was Alice-blue
is now the darkest void of black
The soul that cast it's moral hue
is dead and I can see it's lack
You have an animal's stare, you do
and I can't forsee your humanity coming back
What wasteland must lay full view
under your brows where aquamarine once sat
Is now just ornery onyx orbitals in lieu
A duo of seething soullessness peering back
