Eyes of Mist
April 18, 2013
I stayed with her for so long
Staring into her eyes
Those pale, gray fortresses
Whose gates won't ever rise
I stayed with her for so long
And watched as her chest rose
Over and over, softer and softer
Until at last is finally slowed
Her heartbeat stopped the second
I realized that her eyes
Those misty, unreachable citadels
Matched exactly mine
