My eyes, her light

My eyes speak the feelings unfelt expression void,

solitude fading in depths of light so dark.

I see what is said deafening silence hold,

soul of ice so sick I have become.

Warm heart basking in the light of love,

making sense out of what I never believed.

In circles a straight line I walk,

spinning dizziness floating to my end.

Spoken thoughts pouring through tears,

eyes shut tight to see what is right before me.

Take aback by the very imagery painted in this,

with a heart so frail feelings hurt by not feeling at all.

Tattooed memories of tomorrow crying to see today,

speak the words I was never allowed to feel.

Shades of gray my heart if I ever had one at all,

knowing to know nothing except to hope for.

In my eyes there is only her voice loudly stating,

invigorating light breaking the walls down.
