My Blind Eyes See
I hide myself and never speak out,
I wonder why to be heard I have to shout,
Sometimes I close my eyes and hold my breath,
Silence is just a sudden death.
I want to touch you but you are too far away,
Some days I just want you to stay,
But every time I open my mouth to say,
The further you drift away,
My soul and yours were together once,
In a past life together for months,
But you drift away and I forget your face,
You whisper "Don't you know your place?"
Fading sun why must you leave me?
With blind eyes I finally see.
A monster, no longer my love.
The mask you wore flew away like a dove.
