i couldn't look at your face today
your eyes, they shone

  a sparkle of innocence
  a hint of something less

was it possible?
could you feel the uneasiness,

  the brittle beat of my heart
  the stain of my fate,
    lingering in my voice?

have i emulated myself well enough?
-though i could not stare or gaze

  but merely glance

have i risen, like the pheonix,
so cliche, glazing over

  this infernally scathing
  turn of events?

i am the master of my fate
i am the captain of my soul

  but how can i go alone
  into these uncharted waters?

when i'm with you, life is life,
alive, exciting and always new

  and may it always be

what color were your eyes today?
i couldn't stare into them
so bright, yet so lifeless...
i wish you wouldn't...

  ...hide them
  like you're ashamed
    though maybe
     it's better this way

  how could i possibly resist
  if the pieces of my small,
  fragile soul
  fell in?

it would be too perfect.
