<center></center> For the longest time I was stuck in the darkness of my own eyes Unwilling to see the light that was burning from within Held hostage by all my foolish sins But you helped me find fragments of my self Helped me piece them back together even when I couldn't help How could I be so blind? To the love you always gave Never once asking more from me But peace Now I've turned paradise into a tragedy Let me find your eyes Understand I was weak Arrogant and vexed by the secrets I keep Hiding in disguise So afraid you'd push me away If you really saw me in the Light of day It's no excuse for what I did to you I understand you couldn't see things through When I threw in the towel as if to say I never needed you to Light my way Childish and mad, fixated on my dreams Not taking time to grasp reality Now you're gone burning in my memories And I don't know what to do *Amethyst* [Image source](https://pixabay.com/photos/girls-lesbian-gay-sex-sensual-3053051/)
