Seen through someone else's eyes...
Hyûga Neji
The tears you left behind so long ago
They fall right into my eyes
Looking up into the sky where all
Of your violating memories are hanged
I stumble across what you've wanted to erase
So long ago
The tears you left behind so long ago
They are wetting my own eyes and
Cheeks which are starting to burn
The sky's grey, the sky's blue
I'm looking for something and yet
My quest gets interrupted by
The pain you once had to endure
No-one can tell you how to smile
No-one can truly save you from the sombreness
Of your own woeful heart
The cries that no-one heard
The fear that no-one felt
No-one can ever take them from you
Although those unkind moments are long gone
I walk onwards, onwards, beyond the edge
Still my gaze rests above the world
Rests above the earth, clings to the sky
The sky which is grey, the sky which is blue
The sky into which you banned all your
Violating nightmares
That once had been your cruel reality
The tears you left behind so long ago
They fall right into my eyes
No ground beneath my feet
I close my eyes and
See
Feeling the tears of yours still
Dropping into my aching soul
I reach out my hands, my arms and
Suavely embrace you
With all my heart
With all the pain that is no longer yours
With all the affection I feel when your lonesome body
Leans against my own
With all the yearning for your intimacy
In silence crying
The tears you left behind so long ago
I am still holding you
My chin rests upon your shoulder and
Through your back I can sense
The beating of your heart
Still strong, still calm, still solitary
Strands of long dark hair are hiding your face
From being exposed to me
The sky's grey, the sky's blue
You searched for your freedom and after you left your tears behind
You spread your wings and flew away
Now I hold you firmly, gently
Didn't trap but caught you as you fell
Don't want to let you go without knowing that
You're no longer all by yourself
Birds, feathers, whirlwind of cold dye
Confused feelings, maze of umbrages
As your hand's lightly laying upon mine
I am no longer the only one embracing
For you finally do turn around
Birds, feathers, whirlwind of cold dye
Nothing compared to your unique white eyes which
Captivate and take hold of me effortlessly
My fingers are endearingly caressing you
Fondling away a part of the pain
Whilst your arms are holding me closely
I kiss you into the corner of your bequeathed white eyes and
The tears you left behind so long ago
Find their way back onto your cheeks
You keep a straight face whilst crying silently
But I don't let go because
Still, I can feel you tremble slightly
Under the recurring memories of your past
We close our eyes and
See
No ground beneath our feet
Just the infinite sky
Giving home to both of us, to both our forlorn souls
I reached out my hands and found you
Behind the impenetrable wall you built up
Behind the invincible, intimidating genius and
Behind the cold, deprecative, indifferent white eyes of yours
As long as we can – let us fly
Finally, being the uncaged birds that we are
Our destiny's not foreordained
It's awaiting everyone who's managed to release themselves
Let us leave behind the past, the violating tears
Let us be free
Maybe even together
