Whose Eyes

by Loner, Libra - Not entered


I often wonder who I am to be
My heart has been frozen in ice
Not by a choice I made
By her choice when she left 

The world I know is barren
She wanted to get inside of my soul
When I took her there it was too much for her
I can see the day like a movie in my head

I am standing with sword in hand
My eyes are strong and fierce blue
Her words are washing over me like the ocean to shore
Yet, our footprints are gone

I didn't have to say anything
My emotions are too intense to reason with
Hearts don't work like the mind does
Love is blind and will not answer question

The love I have is a caged animal
It screams in the desperate silence I keep it
Sometimes I can feel it clawing at me to let go
To give it a chance to run as emotions should

I look inside
Meeting the animal eyes with mine
The sadness is the same and so is the anger
Days turn into years 

Something made me come home 
I look into the sky and wonder 
Why I left the solitude, to return to the pain
That makes me what I have always been

A survivor


Reason for writing:

    I just wanted to vent some of my sorrow; I was listening
to Pink Floyd's High Hopes and A Track from the Highlander
