Inspired by Coraline and Alice in wonderland
This poem is about how much a person will sacrifice for the one they are truly in love with
He was standing on a broken bridge
Trying to reach the other side
They told him that it was dangerous,
That it was where the shadows hide
Had enough of staying where he was,
He searched for her, though she had died
Taking a deep breath, he jumped across
Over the break that was gaping wide
He looked around, and stared and gasped
For, the people here had button eyes
They all just stared and all gasped back
No one made a sound, not even mice
"Why are his eyes so big and blue?"
"Am I seeing this, or are they lies?"
Whispers and mutters all around,
Coming over here wasn't very wise
He still marched on, undeterred, unturned
He had to do so, for her sake and his
He had only this chance to get her back,
The love of his life, his lady, his miss
Many stones he tripped over and fell,
He groaned, he screeched, he screamed, he hissed
He limped forward with all he had,
For, finding her would give him eternal bliss
Behold, he cried as he saw her at last
For, there she was, with two buttons, black
She just glanced once, and turned away
Will he ever be able to get her back?
He fell down, tugged his hair and cried
And just sat there, his mind went blank
He stood up, yelling and screaming her name
But she had disappeared in the dark
Lost and lonely, hurt and heartbroken,
He took up two buttons, a needle and thread
His eyes, they bled as he sew them on
They fell on the floor, drops of ruby red
He was gasping in pain, but didn't stop
He wished he had listened to what they had said
Still he had come this far, and had to take her back,
Either take her alive or take her dead
The deed was done; and his beautiful blue eyes
Were replaced with buttons as black as night
He struggled to find his way to her
For once, he thought that things would go right
But alas, she was in an embrace with another
His hopes, all shattered, at that sight
Now the world was shades of grey and black
There was nothing left, no hope, no light
He had done so much to earn her love
He had gave up his eyes, he had gave up his all
He had done all in vain, for nothing but pain
He was running fast and had hit a wall
In a daze he wandered around, as his legs
Gave away, too tired; he began to crawl
Back to the break that broke the bridge
And ended his misery with a single fall
