Blue eyes.

You never said this was going to be easy
You said it would be hard
Hard, hard as stone
Hard as the wall we crash into
None of this makes sense
But we still feel the weight
Of the building blocks we glue together
That tear us apart
But we think
We speak with our minds
We toss our words across the bricks
And catch them like fireflies in our fingers
We hold them gently
And with love against our hearts
Our fireflies light up
And we see sparkles in each other's eyes
And we feel the connection, the bond, the love
Seeping through the cracks
We feel our hands
We feel our love.

One of the brightest stars.

Floating like drifting
Drifting away further
We look to them
And they pass us by
Headed toward the sky
We scream and shout
But they never turn around
Wandering toward beauty
Toward heavenly blue
But never faith
Sketched in my face
Left with a trace
A thin line
What seems real to them
Just a fantastic mirage
Worth the fall
At least for their naïve ears
We look to them with wet eyes
But they just pass us by.
