Blue Eyes.

Frozen tears adorn our cheeks,

Wipe them from our souls

We beg you, plead you,

But still no second chances –

Cleanse and forgive us,

Repent our sins.

Release us,

Relinquish the hold that chokes us.

First come, first served.

Do you have no more excuses?

Have you no other hope of blinding us?

To what truly stands before us.

A man, broken and destroyed -

You stand as a single heart beating,

In a world broken

With bloodied mane held high.

Close your eyes to the world around you,

I fail to fathom your utter disgust

As you collect our souls

Holding them within your own.

Collapsing inward, tears will stain my cheeks

Your love is a poison dart, piercing my skin

Rattling in my ears are my sister’s screams

My brother’s moans, my mother’s cries.

Collective punishment, pushing away

Those who loved you, you’ve lost them now -

We hate you, we burn you, and we loathe you.

We’ve wished upon you, fallen over you;

Our shadows hide your ever-growing hatred

Treasured monstrosity, forever lonely

Diamond tears caressing your cheeks.

Forgiveness will stay a distant dream

A woeful sigh, a forgetful glimmer,

Wishful thinking is a practised daydream.

Shallow loyalties, a careful eye –

Perhaps even the slightest of smiles,

Denying a sin repeated,

Forever unforgiven.
