Eyes Talk [poetry]

Hidden Madness

madness danced within her veins 

but no one ever knew

for she took all signs of being different 

and hid them all from view

maybe she feared her madness 

was far too much for him to take  

so she tried to be a wading pool

rather than a lake

but he was bored of all the shallow pools 

safe and all the same

he  yearned for something dangerous

something he could not tame

but i suppose that life was cruel to them

for every night under the stars

he sat wishing for someone different 

while she sat wishing she was not
