your eyes
the words you sing with your eyes, I will never forget them. at a glance, you just know.
your eyes;
your childish round eyes
able to hear the sound
of my distant silent cries
with a quivering heart
you were my counterpart
oh sweetheart
i am saddened
that this is how we part
with teary eyes
mourning cries
shallow sighs
unable to conceptualise
your white gown
which fell lightly on your fragile
and ghostly carcass
your hazel eyes,
shut tight
no longer bright
nowhere to be found
your skin,
cold.
the circulating blood, drained
your face, no longer strained
your soul, no longer in pain.
but forever ingrained.
your face
presented with grace
yet still laced with so much ache.
now, memorialised.
glancing over your burial mound
soon-to-be earthbound
you become a part of the earth’s ground
now my skin,
cold
left many things untold
i’m unable to uphold
living with such a high pain threshold
your warm touch
forever lingering
in my strong clutch
open your eyes
wipe off your smile
meet my eyes
tired and hostile
look at me one last time
open your childish round eyes
i’ll try to heal fast
relieve a little of the past
your worn out brown eyes
now–
unable to hear
my heartfelt silent cries
