In The Details



It's in the details
The quiet still voice
If you only look you can see the smallest, tiniest of things
Her nervousness.
The hurried speech.
Look into her eyes
for they reveal it all.
The open windows to her soul.
The emptiness, loneliness,
Years of regret.
Youthfulness, stripped from her, by her,.
It's in the smallest of signs.
hidden, yet exposed, around her eyes.
Tiny road maps of adventure decisions the good, bad and indifference.
The Choices made in a blink of an eye, etched permanently
(In the details is where you will find the truth)
It is only when another really wants to
That they will open up their own eyes and see your true soul.
