How do you forgive what can't be forgiven How do you accept that you were misled It seems so simple to say I screwed up that life Simple though isn't always that easy Sometimes it harder I finally let the pain out today, not that I was given a choice It must have been in my eyes when he looked at me Laughter taken flight No smile returning his I tried so hard to convince him I was fine and it didn't matter Sometimes I wish my eyes could lie None of it was his fault nothing to do with him He wasn't even around back then Not in a capacity to have anything to say I tried to be empty when I stopped pretending everything was fine Use obscure fragments of thought betraying nothing My eyes are betrayers The liquid that spilled from them brought pain It's fine Everything is fine Fingers not fast enough to dry all the pain My betrayers left him unarmed To hug me or fight me knowing both and neither would help The words trembled from lips that fought to hold them It's okay, you didn't do anything wrong What else could he say He knew the wounds were mine alone The world moved around us, a bustle of motion Laughter in a tease, mischief in a foot step and nudge Neither wanting to know this pain Freedom in drying eyes, expelling of words "The only way to learn to fly is to spread your wings and jump." |

Hello, Winter Butterfly! What an intriguing pen name! ~ It's poetic in its own write! ~ I mean "right".  I believe that the eyes truly are the windows to the soul. Lips can lie ~ but eyes don't. Giving you a warm, welcoming hug, EA |
