I look away as the words fall into place like pieces of a puzzle
One that I tried and failed over and over again
The bigger picture was unseen by these eyes till then
The truth laid bare, yet unbelievable at best
Ignorant of the ways of the world, until faith was placed in the wrong hands
Books will never teach you lessons the way people do
Even when they don't mean to
It had been a long time since a beat had been skipped
There's hope yet, says my friend
As we drive down memory lane, he stops and takes a hard look at the road he's driven
As the eyes focus once again on the road ahead, there's no regret, no longing
The walls seem to be further apart than they used to
There's a scream, blood chilling and euphoric
Bloodshot though they might be, those eyes inspire and make you wonder
There's a calm that infuriates the sea
Soon a storm brews and yet the eyes don't blink
