The eyes of the past
by
Sherene Delgado
You don't understand how hard it is to look into your eyes
The eyes which are the only part of you that has never changed
It’s hard for me to realize that someday the person I love the most will be gone
I stare at you and I realize that one day you won't be here with me
You will leave me here alone
That thought plagues my mind every time I am with you
Until all I am left with is sadness and fear
You were always my foundation
The safe place I could turn to when I felt no one cared
When you leave I don’t know what will become of the person you loved so much
All the good I found in myself was because of you
You kept the demons at bay in my mind with your love
I just hope that I won’t disappoint you
