Eye of the Beholder

by PunkyThespian - Libra

Thoughts and memories I've shaped 
To the figures that can't be defined
My misconceptions have given me these scars
Will someone please annul the imprints
The ones that have been left upon my conscience
Now...mark my word
Now...watch the moon
Here...in pure silence I'm searching for the bliss

When the murder of crows blocked the light
I thought the air was black
But it was the thickness that hindered my breath

It must end I said
My hearing has been all but torn by lies
It must end I repeated
I told my ears they would bleed no more
It will end I finally assured myself
This is known because it was I who smiled
When a tear in the eye of the beholder was apparent

Now surely enough it is me that is crying
Did this tear really fall from my face?
Am I the beholder or its enemy?
