#2. Eyes

18 2 13
                                    

Eyes colored in despair
As if a knife has pierced my chest
Poisoning me with the bitter taste of guilt
And I look up and meet those eyes
I wonder, how miserable have I made them
The eyes that used to watch
Assertively yet full of fondness
Are now in an unrecognizable color of
Despair

Show me a place to escape
From the haunting eyes colored in despair
But no longer can I move my foot
Nor turn my face away
As I'm already paralyzed
By this sense of guilt

And yet
No matter how many years passed
And how many times
I try to avert my gaze
Those eyes colored in despair
I still find it so dear
