August

Artists : Someday I : August

eyes late at night,
her shadow far exceeds her grasp -
in what used to be her august eyes.
never seen her own fucking shadow.
and how was i supposed to know?
i said it,
it's so beautiful. the praise of folly,
so eloquent to me -
i didn't know she couldn't see.
i only showed her what was in this life:
the lies.
i only showed her what was really in this life: her eyes.
i only broke her heart.
i only took her dreams.
i only took what was in her eyes -
your august eyes.
of all the beauty we saw that summer,
the most incredible view was the look in your eyes.
