A story of fear and bliss
Brown like the swirling fluid milk chocolate
An industrial entity of happiness
Before it hardens into the sweet treats which we enjoy
A dream of joy in a gelatinous lie
A hint of green around the irises
A field of emptiness and deception
Calm and soothing to contrast the inner chaos
An inner war that refuses to see an end
Beauty. By definition, her eyes need no description
For the story tells itself
A cheesy phrase turned irrevocable truth as it leaves my lips
Out of an insatiable lust for affection
'I require a map, for I am lost in the story that your eyes tell'
A line which masks inner self loathing and desperation
A smirk. To most, a signalling that failure is imminent
To others, a witless joke
To me, yet another story to be told
A tale of insecurity and false hope
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul
They speak the only truth that matters
We all have our demons, yet her soul was one of peace
Peace is the greatest lie of humanity
As if time stood still to allow me to hear her story from within
An entity of imagination as reality stood in awkward silence
All of this in a single moment. A moment of eternity
While our eternity is but a blink in the eye of father time
"..What?" She breaks the silence to begin this saga
Confusion caressed by hesitant confrontation
After? A journey that has yet to be written
A story unable to be told for it progresses yet still
Laugh, smile and love. Enjoy these precious moments
You never know which moment will truly be your last
