Lost and Gained


Hateful eyes I can't forget.

Two different worlds, the future and the dead.

You shouldlearn what it's like

to be alone.

Thinking some day you'll be alone like me,

I try to smile a cruel smile...

I fail.

That puzzle I tried to complete long ago…

I failed.

I gave it to you so long ago.

I want it back.

Give it back!

Look into my eyes that aren't just mine.

Your smile is warm,

your countenance kind.

Pity… sadness… guilt…

Where's that smirk you used to wear?

I know it's not me you smile at.

She stole the puzzle and opened it up,

stole it from your billowing sleeve

I failed, I won, I knew I would.

Are these my lips

that part in laughter?

I know I still love you.

In five hundred years I'll still love you.

Even as I shot my bow…

I loved you with ashattered heart,

my first, my only love

and yet…

There they are,

with claws outstretched.

Hateful eyes I can't forget.


Still not happy with the final result... I originally planned it so if you looked sideways at the words and squinted, they looked like a mountain side... sigh...
