In Your Eyes

I write this letter

This is my art of reflection

I continuously make the same choices

That push the ones I love

Further from me

I am faced

With confronting the sadness I have placed

In your eyes

There was only so long I could keep up this disguise

I am faced with

Confronting the sadness in your eyes

There was only

So long I could keep up this disguise

My mind is trapped

Zig-zagging like an addled snake

I am

Repeating a pattern passed down by

A generation of lies

There must be

A learned difference

Between

An asset and a

Liability

You and I

Had the chance

To gaze upon the world

Fuck

No amount

Of substance

Could mask or hide the pain

I am faced with

Confronting the sadness in your eyes

There was only

So long I could keep up this disguise

I know I cannot take back

Take back what I have done

I must accept

The consequences of my actions

I know I cannot take back

Take back what I have done

Take back what I have done
