Sadness in My Eyes

Sadness in My Eyes

 
It is not sadness in my eyes.
It is a numbness,
An emptiness.
 
There is a rapacious seeking,
That is ambitious
And capricious.
 
That runs me ragged and tired…
In the name of what?
In search of what?
 
I cannot answer to those ‘what’s.
I just know the sum
Of it all:
               Numb and dumb…
                            With a sadness in my eyes.
