it's sometimes hard to breathe
the expression on your face is calming
but hard for me to bear
the chords faded away into the blank night
but i could still hear the words coming from your mouth
you sang to the sound of my breathing
but when i closed my eyes
i found the room empty
the tears had blurred my vision
and pounded into the surface of the carpet underneath my feet
i fell in love with no one at all
and it all felt so right
the feeling of being alone
makes me believe
i can take on anything
i never thought it to be so painful
to see someone but see no one all at once
the night had turned gray
when i turned to look to you
but looked at absolutely no one
blessed is the eyesight that sees nothing
because i feel like i've known you before
sometimes in a past that can't be proven
in a past that only exists in a faint broken memory
like shards of a glass bottle under a broken window

looking at life though the rear view mirror
is all i feel i can do
but i want you to know
wherever you may be
even though i don't know who you are
even though you exist only in my mind
i'm still in love with the thought
that when i close my eyes
my blue world opens up to me
and you were there
that expression so calming
when i close my eyes
the expression so calming
when you are close to me

omg i am so suprised no one else has commented to this yet! i absolutely loooved this! and i am adding this to my library.
i would only change one thing to make it sound better:
              "the night had turned gray
            when i turned to look to you
          but (*saw*) absolutely no one"

and i looved this part
"blessed is the eyesight that sees nothing"

thanks for sharing

Wow, I'm kind of speechless.

'blessed is the eyesight that sees nothing
because i feel like i've known you before
sometimes in a past that can't be proven
in a past that only exists in a faint broken memory
like shards of a glass bottle under a broken window'

That whole part just blew me away.
I love your whole writing style and I
hope you keep on posting.

This is really well written.

I especially like this line...


"to see someone but see no one all at once"
