My Dear (Reprise)

Written in twelfth grade (2015)

And the sirens are off

Screaming madly

There you are in the midst of

A pervasive sea

Of walking dimmed people

In whose eyes

I see only

Crystals of the black tar

And my heart cries out

In a desperate reach for yours

Where are all these scars from?

What did they do to you?

I see it in your eyes

Your beautiful eyes

A colour so deep

Like a sun-kissed secret left to speak

To an uninterested night

                        

Is it ever?

I ask myself

How strong are we by ourselves?

I want to know you

I want to be there for you

The world

Watering the lawn of your life

That your eyes might see

Plush emeralds

Almost unbelievable

What a fallacy,

Weedy facades

They made you see

Through the sunflower of your eyes

But hidden were 

The deadly serpents

Beneath the colours of autumn

Now crushed

And turned dark

By your scared yet unvarying steps

Around and around

Caught up

In the muddy flow of this

Hungry 

Meaningless chase

After all transient

Distasteful things -

Coated with dew drops like

Diamonds 

And the weeds

Green-eyed

Colored 

Projecting unique blossoms

And cheating

All along the deadly world

This wild 

Cheating you

My dear

Emerald beauty

Deception closes you in 

With no way out

Turn around dear

Please turn around
