Thy Violet Eyes
December 24, 2015
Thy violet eyes,
Beautiful but lonely.
Everybody moved on,
Left behind is thee only.
Thy violet eyes,
Beautiful but lonely.
They were once so warm,
But they are now stony.
Thy violet eyes,
Beautiful but lonely.
Void of young innocence,
Replaced with pain only.
There is nothing I wouldn’t do,
To see those eyes again.
Those warm, loveable jewels,
Untainted by hurt’s stain.
I want thee back.
