You look into my eyes so much trust, more hope.
Peering over my glasses into blue tear filled eyes.
What can I do to erase the tears ~
where sorrow lays?
I look at my note pad – it’s empty!
no answers
only questions
Suddenly I feel tears
Your tears are now mine
you are set free

I’m interpreting the paper staring at you because there’s nothing on it or it has been erased. I know there much much more.

I really like this because sometimes it does seem that the notepad is begging for some kind of attention. Beautifully written.
