Silent Eyes The sun pierces my blinds to illuminate my empty bed Maybe if you were beside me I wouldn’t feel so dead You’re the first thing in my head when I open up my eyes And you only leave at night when my consciousness dies Even then you seem to hold on so very tight You surface in my dreams each time I lose the fight Once I dreamed I’d die for you and I had no fear Another I dreamed you were with me, but I awoke and you weren’t here Sometimes it hurts most to hear what you already know That every time you leave I’ll have nothing more to show There is so much I’d want to tell you if I had the words But your eyes they stab me like a thousand swords Cut off my tongue and you don’t even blink Will you ever know that you’re the only thought I think? The sight of your face causes my words to fight to be freed So many have cut me, but only you have made me bleed Every ounce of by being is screaming for you From behind these silent eyes I may never know why I can’t help but trust you I use you to lift me up, denying what may come true Because the higher that I climb, the further I can fall The chance that you’ll push me is the greatest fear of all But I’ve never been good with heights, I used to dream of falling In dreams you wake up before the impact, in life you’re left crawling And once you spoke words that were a punch to my face Ignorant of my feelings you never noticed my disgrace You told me you had another, let it slip his name To think you wouldn’t be taken, I have myself to blame I know I couldn’t be good enough but I really wanted to try But after I knew the facts, it made me wonder why I ever even hoped that you’d see something in me In what distant world would you want what I could be? Maybe in time I can hope to forget her But even in my dreams I know far better Now every ounce of my being had died for you And no one could hear my cries
I really like this. This is feeled with emotion, and only one problem that kept tugging at me. "You’re the first thing in my head when I open us my eyes" ^ Read it, and you'll know what to change. "Because the higher that I climb, the further I can fall The chance that you’ll push me is the greatest fear of all But I’ve never been good with heights, I used to dream of falling In dreams you wake up before the impact, in life you’re left crawling" ^ This is my favorite part.
