Knowing I Saw Enough

Knowing I Saw Enough

 
Eyes so tired 
 
eyes so tired 
 
of seeing the same waste
 
every day 
 
day in day out 
 
these eyes ache to see more
 
something different 
 
something new 
 
something of pleasure
 
nothing of blue 
 
but I am afraid 
 
I am so afraid 
 
that these eyes will fall asleep 
 
one night, for the very last time 
 
never to see the bright
 
they so long to see
 
I want to die with a smile
 
I want to die 
 
knowing I saw enough.

Wow...really difficult to find space here. Shirley I love this...the bullet sentences, the meaning of your words, i find as we age we do get tired and also incredibly sad that the 'freshness' of life has evaporated. I think possibly the greatest treasure in.life is the ability to experience  once again the flower...with our 2 year old eyes. Wonderful.x

The End.

To feel the blood on my tongue,
The way the skin peels from my lips,

Ripped away from me...
