 FORSAKEN
Eyes that knew colors and symmetry
Met eyes that dwelt in darkness
He saw what he defined as pure beauty
While all she saw was only felt
He was taken; he couldn't help it
As he befriended her with a touch
Now every stroke of his brush on canvas
Spoke of the girl who caused
His heart to dance

The slightest smile on her full lips inspired
Her eyes, unseeing, softened him
He drowned himself to working
Hours and days for the dream
Of bringing light to the dark world she knew
Oh, he wanted nothing less
Thus he set off, left
His return a bidden promise

Days into months,
Months into years…
His efforts did not fail
His dream that was hers
Pieced bit by bit
Till he rejoiced and succumbed
On returning feet

Alas! His true love fair
Eyes shining with sight
He lost to someone else's arms
Oh, heartbreaking delight!

She was at last happy, renewed
Her eyes were sparkling so
Her dream was done, yet she didn't know
Oh, she didn't know

The sight of him made her pause
His voice brought tears to her eyes
She knew it was him, how could she not?
His voice she grieved for in the nights

She loved him just as deeply
But he was too late; she was
Bound to some other heart
And with one mere touch, he turned away
And was gone
His heart forsaken as roses to the ground

Happiness. Pain. Emotions at mix
She could only shed tears (not knowing)
At the guy who gave her…her sight
