Eden's Eye

My gazing eyes pierce deep into the sea of stars

As they fall across the beauty of your lone cosmos

Those eyes are my Eden and fall gracefully on my face

Yet those eyes will be disenchanted at the fleshy mortal before them

The frail creature bathed in the moon’s light

Yet they will never attain the knowledge of my private love as I will never attain their grace

They will never see the scars of my exposed heart

Yet to have healed or go away

Never know all I wish is to be admired under the gaze of those eyes

Never capable of comprehending all I have sacrificed on my voyage through the stars

The feeling of watching your own soul beaten down

Having fell into a hole of perpetual darkness

Watching as it lay bleeding like a waterfall on the floor

When those eyes can perceive this pain then they will finally cry as I’ve cried

They will finally pour tears of blood to make up for all I have lost on my quest

I’ve paid my price and nothing will stop me on my journey to those eyes

In all the infinite knowledge I could obtain I demand only one answer

I demand those eyes reveal to me what I must sacrifice

As I may yet attain their love and grace

They may yet travel through my mind to the star that I left to shine

To view the islands in my sea of dreams

Realizing those eyes were all I loved in this dying world

Realizing that no measure could ever come close to my love

Yet the word love has long since died and turned to dust

All meaning gone for the pleasures of lust

Maybe together we can attain a place in the stars

A couple on the path through the nights stars

Yet as you hold me close my retention arose

Like the sun at dusk you fell away

For my scars will never heal and will never go away

No sacrifice I can make will ever allow me to mount the sky

No sacrifice to pay the cost of attaining Eden’s eye

My eternal faith forever shattered by the impossibility of our love

All will be destined to face one fact

In the end all will fade to black
