Past Days

Eyes glance and glare.

Still, they don’t place themselves upon me.

Yet, I feel their stare.

Cold and hardened.

They don’t see.

How could they?

They never saw before.

No life boat in these waters…

Watching as those eyes judge me, now.

I swim even after every word is said and thrown.

I don’t need to swim any further, but I keep going.

The eyes question my motivation.

I want to make this what I can.

All there is to do is to keep going.

Keep my eyes where it matters.

Keep my own against all.

Show cunning over strength.

Soon, I shall walk the beaches themselves after the storms.

I’ll smile in the warmth of the sun, and my eyes will finally see bright greens and blues.

I’ll be at peace.

The days pass away without a word.

The days pass away without a cloudy day ahead.

The days pass away with so many full moons.

The days pass away with so much light.

The days pass away without knowing the harshness of saddened words.

The days pass away, and I realize a significant truth.

The days pass away, and never again do I see those that I love.

The days have passed away, and given every happy memory of them away.

The days have passed away, and not a single happy remembrance of you remains.

The days have passed away, and I’ve lost you all forever.
