Sightless

An angel weeps of sorrow,
as I'm blinded by your light.
You vow for stronger fervor,
but that rarely makes things right.

My tragic search for passion
has me digging through debris.
You look in my direction,
but your focus isn't me.

You pretend to see my sight,
but you're heedless to the doubt.
Things may get inside my eyes,
but tears will always push them out.

I'm pretty much saying it's over.

This is option number four... "eyes." I'm interested in us being brothers.

    the last line floored me. Thanks for giving justice to tears (and the way they function).

    A very good piece. Thank you for sharing.

    Love it

    A good write. Love the image of tears pushing things out of your eyes, and sight. The flow of the meter doesn't seem perfect in the last stanza, but otherwise, very good.

      Yeah... I knew the last stanza was a little bigger, but my brain hurt too much yesterday, and I didn't want to fix it. haha. I just rewrote it, so I hope it sounds better now. Thanks
