Our Eyes

Our eyes may change, They mirror the soul They tell the truth we sometimes are too afraid to speak Your eyes held lust, A perverted wanting in them They held greed and malice They twinkled from the crack Glimmered from the liquor Mine held a terrifying innocence A longing to be accepted A thirst for love To be acknowledged and wanted They held the desire to exist But you changed all that You gave me all that I wanted You made me feel loved, as if my existence mattered In exchange, I quenched your perverted thirst I sacrificed my virtue, just to exist Because in your eyes, I was wanted and needed I was the flame in your eyes The time has passed Yet your eyes still remain the same Wild, perverted, sinister Your soul is still the same The same as when I idolized you The same as when I looked up to you The same as when I trusted you The same as when I was too blind to see the truth Mine have changed however There's no innocence nor light in minde My eyes are cold and dead Freezing hate and tears unshed Sorrow from betrayal Pain from solitude Fury from denial And hatred from life Our eyes, they mirror the soul And the secrets within While you rot in a cell with a corrupted soul intact Mine crumbles to pieces As this cold realization eats me away; I was nothing more than the idiot boy who was your sex toy in your eyes But you to me, are nothing more than the pig who opened my eyes to hatred

Good god, you sound like me... How I feel your words. I have walked this earth with black pits instead of eyes. This darkness that causes hatred to fill us up. How else can we be when this evil is all we've known. A 7 well deserved.

Powerful, Javier...Very, very powerful! All healing begins with a single word...Just as a long journey begins with a single step. It would appear that first step has now been taken. All the very best, Javier...And a peaceful and content Easter. :) john
