Those Long Piericing Looks: Sad Eyes By Robert John

When bad news hits, the first sign that you're displeased are your eyes then followed by your face. At that point, your face looks so bad that it's hard to look at you, especially if the person facing you is the bearer of bad news. One thing's for sure the look on those eyes can really pierce deep inside you. It gets too much that even if you turn away you feel that person's anguish. When I think about those looks and expression, the song "Sad Eyes" by Robert John comes to mind.

I know this song is about breaking up but you to admit that getting that kind of look is not limited to a break-up alone. Any kind of bad news can surely turn a person's facial expression faster than day turning into night. If you're the one who dropped the bomb, the first thing you feel is regret and you'd be wishing that someone else did it. It can be a very tense moment, that anyone would wish could just go away. Sadly, you have to face the music to the bitter end.

You try to break it as gently as you can but there's no avoiding those long, sad piercing looks. Still it had to be done and the person concerned should know that it was coming. That doesn't make it any easier especially if the person is very emotional. Well, just take it and move on. There's just no sugar-coating bad news so just break as best as you can and endure those long, piercing looks till your job is done.
