Sarah Jabri Poet Free verse

Bring Back My Sight

When I lost all that I have,
I hit the booze all day and night
I ran across the corn field under the moonlight,
Wondering what happened to my sight

I used to see you round the clock,
In front of me or just simply in my memory
I used to wake up to your smiles,
Opening my eyes I see you in delight

But now I have gone subtly scared,
To the years that passed by I grew afraid
And maybe it's because I don't see you anymore
So please baby, would you bring back my sight?

I knew I hit the jackpot,
When you agreed for our first date
The folks in town said you've never had one before
So I took the challenge and locked your eyes to mine

But now buried in my memories, 
Are our ice cream and pillow fights
Tears running through my face 
Are missed cuddles and hugs

I have gone subtly scared,
To the years that passed by I grew afraid
And maybe it's because I don't see you anymore
So please baby, would you bring back my sight?
