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.
