Knowing how you paint your eyes..
Many colors in disguise.
You may blink once or twice..
But you’ve grown up way too fast..
And in a blink of an eye you’ve died.
Maybe enough of us get set up to hold a color in your eyes.
To late to live a simple life..
You get what you get..
And still can’t lift the blinds.
You can push me out on a limb..
But who will catch me..
If I can’t see to climb.
Like you..
If I’m blind like you..
Seeing only lies.
All I need is a time between the lines of grey..
In your dark dismay.
Catching shadows and faces making colorless shapes.
And wen I’ve lost you in the moment..
Well then I’ve lost you in the moment I pray..
Stuck stone cold stare..
Pretending you’re awake.
I can see by the absence of importance..
All you have is just a blank.
No sunshine will cover your day..
When darkness covers your eyes.
Why has the fight to be free gone so far away.
I can hear the laughing from the dark..
Screams so close in the night…
Begging me “please?”
Begging me..”don’t leave me stranded this time!”
Lead by the colors in your eyes.

This is wonderful, did you write it? Eyes are such poetic objects because not only do they enable us to observe the world around us, they can also deceive us. I also like ‘All I need is a time between the lines of grey.. In your dark dismay.’ It speaks of not only the struggles a person goes through, but also how the struggles of others can affect us. It conveys the helplessness a person feels when they see someone they care about consumed by such darkness. How another person’s emotions can control us. Sorry if I’m misinterpreting this, it’s great. Thanks for the post RT
@SB- Wow!!! That’s…pretty much…yeah!! lol you understand exactly what I was trying to get at! 🙂 I was gonna write an explanation comment but you hit it right on the nose I think! lol
It’s pretty much about how we can see things the way we want to, the way we “paint” the world in our own eyes..and how it can effect us, confuse us.. But really..I loved the way you explained it better! That’s amazing I think!! 🙂 thanks!
And yes..I usually write my own stuff on the spot.
I’d let everyone know if I was posting some one else’s words. 🙂
