Eyes Wide Shut

Eyes wide open, crying Heart
thought things would work out, at the start,
Tears of sadness, piercing stone
When he left her, she felt all alone.

Love of her life, gone away,
Her sole wish was that he'd stay.
She moved herself to get to him,
But,it made no difference since he'd already been taken.
She'd give him everything he wanted,
She wanted him to be happy with her, life would be sorted.
But, there were others who vied for him,
He'd let them fall for him and the fools rushed in.

From amongst the sadness,
The past also held moments of gladness,
Laughter and smiles abounded whilst she basked in his presence,
She sang, danced and learnt some important life lessons,
She wanted to be his gift,
His muse that guarateed an instant mood lift,
If he'd want her to let go, she'd willingly comply
because she wanted his dreams to soar sky high

Then confusion ensued and care was lost,
Energy and wasted time was the blatant cost,
She still couldn't see with her eyes wide shut,
She was blinded by radiance, but bore the brunt,
She couldn't understand a light so bright
that envelopes all naturalness and blinds peripheral sight
It must have been supernatural that sparked a flame,
once she touched it , she was never the same,
For her now, this memory evokes mixed emotions,
The fruits and blossoms that stem from complications.

With renewed energy and light, she exclaimed,
" What magic arose from a cup that spilled over!-
Magic that transforms:
a piece into a whole,
a fool into a king,
a hypocrite into a wise man,
a friend into a lover.
I am thankful to have touched a star,
And now, I will take this light far..."
