new eyes

I was swimming in the dark,

I saw you falling away from me,

I tried to understand each mark,

but I refused to really see.

Tears, you betray me.

Tears. Vision. Blurry.

Breathe. This is too much for me.

Stay, stay, I cannot see.

There you stood in front of me,

your beauty overtaking me,

all I could do was stare,

feeling so lost and numbly unaware.

Every moment you've spent with me,

I can't imagine any other history,

that's moved me more deeply,

than your star-speckled love for me.

I will shoulder your heavy sighs,

Mother, Mother, I will be...

be your star-speckled new eyes.

Bright as the morning skies.

"Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails."
