You Saw
You saw the world for what it was
Green eyed stranger
You realised that nothing was stable
And nothing stays the same
Everything changes
People lie
People die
With your perfect green eyes you saw
You saw it all
You gathered your hopes and dreams
In a lace covered net
But nothing was true
And everything fell through
Your eyes grew weak
You saw too much
You saw what you needed to see
But could not grasp it
For your net had holes
That you were not ready to mend
You fell without falling
And with your eyes shut you saw
Etched on your eyelids
Everything you once knew
Erased by what you saw
And what you failed to understand
And as your walls came in
You saw
You saw it all.
