Word: Eyes
When I open my eyes,
I hope to see blue skies.
I want to see the truth,
But all I see are lies.
Where I had proof,
Nonsense stands up.
It's always changing,
Where I'm standing.
I stand on soft ground,
That collapses from crying.
My fault, that's what I've found,
“Help me.” I whisper.
Looking up with weary eyes,
As the passing breeze sighs.
Closing them again, I avoid,
The gift of reality that dies.
Now I see what I've destroyed.
You look so empty, sweetie.
Covering my ears
To avoid my fears,
But life still creeps in,
As my lonely heart cheers.
Like the light wind,
I sigh along with it.
“I'm sorry,” I overuse,
It's that word I abuse.
All alone, seemingly,
Life discontinues.
At least, for this me,
Because I closed my eyes.
Without your heat,
I'll wait and take my seat.
Will you wait a hundred years?
Please don't sigh in defeat,
I'll conquer my fears,
Just for you, my dear.
With a sigh, I wake once more,
And I can feel your heat like before.
This girl who's slept for so long,
You're the one she woke for.
She depends on you to help her along,
“Hello there!”
