Look and you will see

The weight of hopes and dreams
have warped the backs of scars
until what used to be
is hidden beneath the twisted knots
and the lines
don't hold any words between them
only doubts
and silent midnight tears
that run from the sight of the terrible unknown
where loneliness lurks
under every bed
all icy toes and prodding fingers
always ready to crawl beneath sheets
and snuggle in the cold corners of unused hearts

words have never seemed
like shadows in the light of pages before
and eyelids have never concealed  
a shade of terror so blinding
at the thought of looking to the future
my glasses are rose tinted
and imaginary
yours cracked by poking fingers
but if we let our eyes
chase the horizon
to where we think it ends
we would see it is eternal
