Through my eyes

Through my eyes

It's hard to see the world
With the eyes of love
There is so much darkness
And so much pain
The world can be evil
And the people
Ignorant

Yet I use these eyes
Seeking that love
The love you know
Without saying
The love you know
By touch
And taste
And smell

My journey
Has been hard
And continues
To be even harder
For my search
Goes on
And my eyes
Are becoming strained

All I want
Is to have someone
Who knows me for me
Shines a light
On my darkness
Who will be in my embrace
As I die
And for me to know
That I have worth
That I meant something
That I was

It is through my eyes
That I search
And in my hopes
And in my dreams
I shall seek
And I will find
Or I will end my days
Knowing that I tried
