Through your eyes

of lapis lakes,

the window to your soul,

I break.

Shards of tears

illuminate:

the mourning

in your spirit’s wake.

I rake the grains

with gentle hands,

sifting words

to understand,

listening

as silence

spans

The distance from

your heart

to land.

I speak your hope

’til realized,

paint the pitch

with sunrise skies,

in Braille

I write

what beauty lies,

until

you see it

through your eyes.

Through your eyes...

do you see a girl

worth living for?

Through your eyes...

do you see a flower

worth growing?

Through your eyes...

am I worth the time

to wait?

Through your eyes...

am I a beautiful

goddess worth fighting for?

I want to be something

(anything)

to you.

I want to be worthy

of your gaze

(please look at me).

I want to see what you see

(I want to see if I’m worth love)

through your eyes.

Through your eyes, I want to see

If what you see is really me

The scars hidden beneath a smile

Do you know I'm crying, all the while

Are you ignoring all the signs

Avoiding mountains we can't climb

Will you really take the time

To see my heart; I hope this time

Can you grasp what's at my core

How I'm not like the girl next door

How I've failed, although I tried

See me; no filter; through your eyes

Through Your eyes

I should be little more than

Dust

I rejected

You

Ran away from

You

Fought against

You

But yet

You welcomed

Me

You ran to

Me

You fought for

Me

Through your eyes

I'm beautiful

I'm loved

I'm worthy

I'm cherished

How could I

Fight?

How could I

Refuse?

To see myself

Through Your eyes

Through your eyes the fog is lifted

Sifted, Gifted

Transformation to animation

A cycle of water

Fog, condensation, air, water, boiling

Freezing heart of despair

Hear the cries turn inward

Anger in shadows

Darkness guides

Light ignites

inside hope

Now it flows through

Old cycles die, New cycles revive

Dreams are life

Live inside

Dreams unreal, Now alive

Fantasy through your eyes

Through Your Eyes...

I'm Smiling

I'm Happy

I'm Alive

Through My Eyes...

I'm Scarred

I'm Broken

I'm Dying

Oh, How I Wish I Could See The World

Through Your Eyes...

@FiaA

Through your eyes

they see happiness

they see love

they see creativity

Through your eyes

I know better

I see past the scars

that fake joy

Through your eyes

I stare deep into your heart

I want to mend it

I want to end it

The sorrow lodged in our throats

I want to help you

but I struggle the same

two hearts beating the same

one slows

the other turns to stone

and cracks

and chips

falls into pieces

Through your eyes

(I hope Free Verse is okay)

Through your eyes

it seems truly wise

to replace a sniggering scoff

with a heartfelt laugh.

I begin where I once left off

Through your eyes

I warm to thaw ingrown ice.

Putting back things once broken,

my heart reaches to open.

Through your eyes

Everything looks nice

Less jaded, less cynical

I catch an actual smile

My world's worth the while

through the rose colored optical

Through your eyes

I no longer despise

or over flaws agonize

Everything’s clear and perceptible

I’m accepting, therefore acceptable,

just because

I see

through your eyes.

Through your eyes, I'm innocent,

and could probably do no wrong.

Through my eyes,

I'm surviving, building my life to be strong.

Through your eyes,

surviving is a natural thing to do.

Through my eyes,

I'm struggling hoping I will get through.

Through your eyes,

my teardrops flow downward to fade away.

Through my eyes, my strength is questioned every day.

Through your eyes,

strength could be in the tears I drop.

Through my eyes,

the pain in me has never taken the time to stop.

Through your eyes,

my innocence shows no tale of lies.

Through my eyes,

I depend on what comes through your eyes.

Through your eyes

I can see

A whole world of possibilities

I can see a lifetime of happiness

Through your eyes

I can see

Your shameful past

The hurt you try so hard to hide

Through your eyes

I can see

That You're falling in love

With me

Through your eyes I can see...
