CLEAR EYES by J
Summers Child Of The System
I cried for you...
Every time I try to push away the pain, I am reminded I
cried for you.
I cried for you...
Because of you I was foolish enough to fall to for the
games… how there would be no more scars on my heart, no more days where I would
just sit up and look at the blank wall, searching for the answers as the tears
run down my swollen face.
I cried for me...
I told my heart not to worry!!... I told my heart that
enough time had passed, that the scar tissue, stitches, bruised left ventricle
and overworked cordite artery would finally be receiving better days. I convinced
my blood not to run cold, that there would be one soul who could merge and mend
this duct taped government funded disaster, and pay the toll that life wasn't
always your fault.
I cried for truth...
Because of you every face that I see becomes a smile... a
crooked little grin that screams, I know the reason your here... I know every little
secret your trying to hide behind your eyes. I know every failure, every
mistake, every miniscule microscopic reason you deserved to fail. And no matter
how many streams, rivers, lakes or oceans of Tears fall from your face... I
will ask for more because you haven't shown me enough.
I cried for death...
But the tears never came. The salty secretions that drenched
my face, engraved tombstones of irritated and battered pores, consoled my
pillows with an Oasis of floodwater, had finally stopped today.
I wiped away my last tear today...
I stood to my feet, ground up every ounce of doubt within me
and walked calmly towards my destiny. The last tear to fall took with it the
best memory all... You should have cried the day... you forgot about me.
