Thirteen ways of looking at you
1
Among billions of stars, the only thing i could see
was your eyes
2
i was of three hearts
like my soul was shredded into three pieces
that longed for you
3
you were tossed and beaten in the tempest of life
it was just the commencement of things to come
4
life and death
are one
the life and death of you
is nothing
5
i don't know what to favor
the beat of your heart
droning the pulsation of love and pain
or when that lonely tear falls from your eyes
that was to be concealed
6
pain filled your bloodshot eyes
a symbol of isolation and fear
but yet my image shone in a hazel reflection on them
i was either here to rescue you from this insanity
or i was the cause
i cannot tell
for your eyes do not tell the whole story
7
o poor soul of mine
why do you imagine perfection in this world
when what you need is standing there
before you?
8
I know succsesses and tragedies
as well as twisted sunshined days
but i also know that you are involved
in everything i know.
9
when you walked out the door for the last time
it marked the end of many times
where peace and sanity were attained
10
at the sight of you
many others shy away
while i am attracted
to your eloquent disaster
11
i spent many days waiting for you to come
but i silently screamed
when i realized this fairy tale
didn't have a happy ending
12
the world is spinning
you must be near
13it was twilight until dawn
the sun rose
and the sun never came
you stared out
into the endless conclusion of life
