Image for the poem Behind my eyes

Behind my eyes

My world inside behind my eyes
I have hidden secret for many years
Has now come to his end and into her exisitence

All my hiding no longer hidden beneath my skin
Allowing the sun to shine into my darkness...

Then why is it that I hurt and shed these tears?

I'm just a flower who's been pining to bloom
Living inside behind my eyes under the moon
reaching forth for Apollo to warm my soul

Why does this hurt so much?...

Where in God's name is love, peace and understanding?

My truth has become a lie
I'm not who you think I am
Trapped inside spirit freezing
For the one behind my eyes
Enduring her pain, as I cry her tears
Embracing her hurt, my whole body just begins to burn

Crucifing myself for her
Freeing her from my lie
Exposing the beauty of her truth
From deep inside my closet
Soon to be stoned to death and exiled from everything that I know
From judgemental eyes rendering sentencing, searing with malice upon their hearts
Soon this will all end, soon I will die
Nailed and tortured upon the stake, all for her sake
So she may live the life she was meant

Freeing her spirit from behind my eyes

Unfurl your wings my dear
Fly free from all suffering
From all the tears that fall heavy like rain
Driving like nails into thy soul with pain

For you I shall bleed!
For you I shall shed these tears!
For you I shall walk the green mile and offer you life!

To live!...

To breathe!...

To see your spirit smile upon my soul
To walk upon this earth barefoot
Creating new footprints upon our sand
Amongst a garden of laughing flowers
For I shall undergo in that which will be bestowed upon us

Tenfold!!!

Regardless what others think
To be myself is all I can do
You can find salvation in killing me
All the way till sunday
But you all will never ever be able to take away
Who I am inside, in that which cannot be killed

-ADuarte
