Liquid Silver


Eyes as cold as Mercury
Staring out from beyond your slate-blue locks
Eyes lost in thought,
In scheming,
In space

Always, one is hidden
An unseen orb of Iron
Cold, calculating
Unknown to the world
As though having both eyes visible would somehow make you weaker

Silent, uncaring
Heartless eyes
Dead, as though made of stone
Stone, as your heart would be
If you had one

You are not alone
All of them, all 14 of them
You are one
Still, you push all of them away
Looking on with eyes of frosty steel

Yet here we are, the two of us, together
Eyes of Platinum and eyes of blood
Searching the star filled skies for our destinies
Knowing, for once, that we are not alone
But on this journey together

Frozen, listless eyes
Icy hot as the lifeless stars themselves
One always hidden
Behind the same wall you keep your heart behind
You look up at me

Finally, I can see your eyes,
Both shining brightly as you stare up towards the heavens
Liquid Silver dancing in the moonlight
And I know:    For once,
You’re happy.

As  I finally am when I am with you.
Perhaps I have atoned enough…
