The Eyeshot towards the Center down
Your Eyes were about to shoot towards the Center down–
The light Breeze made no Noise
I know– you promised Him– the Cat
Are you dearer than I– You always were
Why can't you welcome my Passion with open Arms–
Toes released the Overpass–
But wait– take my Hand and look up to our Horizon
The Hereafter– There is a Possibility
I did verily desire your Inclination– It wore you out
Your confusing Signs– like a scattered Puzzle
There is a Dagger in my Heart– I thought you could pull it out–
But you didn’t and you Never will
Those green– Sharp Eyes– Of Him! They will continue to Shine–
In your Heart, like Diamonds
And so– the Whisper of the Cat will remain
The Purring of Him– Sublime
When I Ascertained that you were Ready–
I couldn’t believe what I did
My Feet moved on Instinct–
Towards the Grave you dug– ready to Fall into
I hate you– You want yourself out of my head– I do too
But oh– I love you– You want me to hide far away but I cannot
I just Wish things went back how they Used to
You wish that too– But Without me
There you were– Standing–
I pulled you back–
As you landed on your feet– You walked right through me–
I was a ghost– No matter how hard I tried not to
When I looked into your Eyes– I saw nothing
I felt your Touch but you were on another Planet
In the End– I realized it was My Turn all along
I finally recognized that I will Never get back what I gave–
Now that I was the one in Air– With Nobody to stop me
My Vision was much clearer than it was on the Ground–
But– You turned Towards me– You Yelled–
You Looked at me Again– I got to Experience your Worry– One last time
A Pitiful Look on your Face–
It Hit you that it was the Last time you saw me–
So you did Still feel Something for me Deep down
At last– My Eyes shot towards the Center Down
