Losing Sight

Your eyes were once my anchor
a gem so fragile
a prison of my soul
once full of love and admiration .

It hurts
whenever your gaze sets upon me
I find myself tearing up
masking a sheet of bravery.

Asking myself why?
why? Can someone tell me why?
What did I do wrong?
Don\'t know if I can take this for long.

selflessly trying
desperately fixing
selfishly praying
exhaustedly waiting.

Maybe this is the end
the door\'s closing
a window\'s opening
A new chapter unfolds.

but first
Let me see that eye once more
Eyes that once were mine

shed a single tear as I say goodbye.
