And then I realized
that after many years
of blurry visions
you were the glasses
I'd been missing

my mother always told me
that blue eyes were dangerous
and I assured her
that I would be careful
that I would never get addicted
and yet here I am
lost in yours
and unable to find home

there was this boy
who held my
heart and
all its little secrets
but dropped it
who said he
loved me for
who i was
but
always pointed
out all the things
i was able to do
better
who convinced me
he cared
but managed to
rip me apart inside

there was this boy
who made me
feel like i mattered
