Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or the world of Labyrinth... not like they are mentioned in this piece...
I can't get them out of my mind
I close my eyes and yours
open
Staring unblinkingly back at me
Their rich colors inviting
me to explore
The complexities that lie beneath
But in the
duality of this dreamscape
The moment I blink and stare into
reality
There is naught but visual silence
On your end
I can't get them out of my mind
Screaming inside, I paste on a
smile
And veil my own gaze
Knowing that into my soul
Only
you may stare
Even if only when my eyes are closed
And your
gaze rakes over me quickly
Before moving on
Never noticing the
pain and longing
Because I hide it so well
I can't get them out of my mind
When the agony is overbearing
I seek
solitude
And when I am finally alone
My eyelids slide
blissfully closed
For in here, I am not alone
You are by my
side
And I drown deep inside
Those mismatched pools in your
face
For I can't get them out of my mind
And I can't let them out of my sight
For if they were to vanish
I would
be left with nothing
Standing on the deserted isle
Of Lost Hope
