Opened Eyes

I open my eyes, willing myself, To see a brighter day. I don’t know what I am looking for, But I know, will come what may. I fake a smile, in the hope, That no one will see through. The haze that surrounds me, But then again, it’s you. I do not understand it, The love that you have shown. How could I have done it, Pushed it away, I’ve thrown. Everything I lived for, has now walked out the door. I have nothing now, nothing that I’m striving for. I wish that you were here again, I wish that I could share. My feelings with you now, As open as the air. I want you to know, Just how stupid I have been. I want you to feel, All the pain that I have seen. I tremble at the memory, Of my blood, as it spills. Down my arms, into the bath, Slowly as it fills.

Anne, please, put a bandaid on the wound and stick around. I know it hurts baby but thats what makes the verses cry out for my attention. Stick around just a bit longer and then just a bit longer still, writing all the while. The world needs your voice. Well Done. Love,Will

I am reminded as a Spiritual person, that the eyes never see as well as faith. By God's the poetic memory so beautifully described here, will be the only self annihilation that the phoenix needs to rise from its egg of words again. Welcome to the soup, Love and happiness forever.
