Ignorance Was Bliss

Gazing in the sea that is your eyes, My heart it beats to the rhythm of safety. A sparking blue gem of the earth, Catching my dreams and my breath. Mirroring the light that is your smile, Heart beating in time to our laughter. The mischief eminent in your grin, Its sound and your strong arms pulling me in. Gently caressing the soft bed that is your skin, The flutter of my heart the only sound. Smooth and firm ivory holds me tight, Nothing in the world could feel this right. Joining with the soft petals that are your lips, Heart racing faster than my short breaths. Lips fusing, uniting, merging into one, My heart is on fire and all senses but touch are gone. Two years of bliss and then plummet. Reality hazy and hope scattered With the pieces of my heart. The black void in the centre your eyes, The smirk lurking in your smile, On your skin lies prickles and thorns, And from your lips harsh words are born. These things they went unnoticed, But now they’re all I see. The you I knew, is memories, But the true you lives in reality.
