my eyes

does the redness in my eyes tell you anything?

does it tell you a story, one that only gives you guilt?

does it show you my struggles?

you say you want to understand the redness in my eyes.
you want to comfort me
to hold me in your arms
and comfort me.

to understand the redness in my eyes, you need to try
try harder than assuming
try harder than brushing it off
try harder

for me
