You Saw

You saw the world for what it was Green eyed stranger You realised that nothing was stable And nothing stays the same Everything changes People lie People die With your perfect green eyes you saw You saw it all You gathered your hopes and dreams In a lace covered net But nothing was true And everything fell through Your eyes grew weak You saw too much You saw what you needed to see But could not grasp it For your net had holes That you were not ready to mend You fell without falling And with your eyes shut you saw Etched on your eyelids Everything you once knew Erased by what you saw And what you failed to understand And as your walls came in You saw You saw it all.
