Wrinkle, crinkle, pimple, bruise; but our sight remains, of that, we have nothing to lose. Or don't we, for the irises too; they carry a weight we can only hope to be able to endure. And they hold, the sights that most would so wish to forget And they hold, the nights that pain took its best bet, and they hold all that I wish to forget but my eyes, they hold on to the pain and regret but the happiness too, those treasured few, moments so precious that they slip out of reach, but our eyes are there, holding on to the memories

The Weight of Sight
Wrinkle, crinkle, pimple, bruise; but our sight remains, of that, we have nothing to lose. Or don't we, for the irises too; they carry a weight we can only hope to be able to endure. And they hold, the sights that most would so wish to forget And they hold, the nights that pain took its best bet, and they hold all that I wish to forget but my eyes, they hold on to the pain and regret but the happiness too, those treasured few, moments so precious that they slip out of reach, but our eyes are there, holding on to the memories
