Your Blue Eyes

My eyes open, crusty and still heavy.
What I see now is strange.
Swirls of color danced around.
It was too incredible to put down on a page.

Everything you would imagine
When you think of Alice’s Wonderland
Was right there in front of me.
I had the perfect world in the palm of my hand.

I finally felt complete.
Not a single thing was missing.
My entire body tingled,
And my face with a smile was kissing.

The color slowly started to fade.
Everything was withering and gray.
What had I done wrong?
Please don’t take this away.

Suddenly the view changed.
You stood in front of me,
And I realized I had seen all that in your eyes.
But now you were leaving and we weren’t meant to be.

If only life could warn us
Before things get too hard.
Maybe we could change them,
Play the right card.

But things take a turn for the worst
At the most unexpected of times.
At one moment the perfection is here,
And the next they’ve escaped the vision of your eyes.

Your glossy blue eyes,
The perfect windows to the life I wanted.
I will never forget how you were taken away from me.
By you, I will always be haunted.
