Crystal Lies

Your dancing crystal eyes,
Tears falling like jewels.
That's the last thing I remember,
The last memory we had together.
Now look at yourself,
Those crystal eyes don't look so broken,
They don't look so scattered.
This new love of yours seems to have healed you,
Closed the wounds that you say I opened.
This lover you've found
Put the light back in your eyes
And caught the jewels that which fell from your eyes
The way I never could.
I was too busy trying to cover up all of my lies.
I still kick myself for letting you go,
For not telling the truth,
For not being there when you needed me.
I still lose sleep at night
Because I wasn't the one who healed your tortured soul,
Who brightened your crystal gaze,
Who took you by the hand and understood.
Instead, I was the one who jaded you,
The one who made you cry,
The one who was too selfish to see
What I really had.
But now that my lies have ruined my life,
I can at least try to be thankful that you found someone true.
Though I'm the one who cries now,
I can take comfort in the fact that you are happier without me.
