Atrocious!

An eye for an eye and the whole world goes blind
They become thy home, a home that thou can't even find 
Seems like seamless love, that doesn't involve mind
Staring without eyes, faceless yet wild

A little too longer to remain what's best to pretend
A little too close to what's going to happen in the end
A little too late to comprehend
A little too late to condescend

Worse the part when it comes to render 
Worst it becomes, when dived into, 
transcribing the vocabulary not meant to be rendered
Atrocious it is, as surrendered

Bled on paper as thou bled in time
Scarce is translucence 
Abundant became reticence
Those words, coy! result of which was no rhyme

Very true but so many still seek revenge and believe in the eye for eye concept..

I seek acceptance that 'that someone' was in love.. With me. Just acceptance of the truth which isn't now but was somewhere.... "SHE BELIEVES IN WHAT EYES SAY, AS ACCORDING TO HER, EYES CAN NEVER BETRAY"
