I allowed the dark to overwhelm me.
When it became too much to even see,
it was so dark I couldn't breathe.
I discovered the distance between dark and sight.
I have chosen to return to the light.
Be the light.
If my ship sank and I was lost at sea,
with little hope for survival as I drifted aimlessly,
when the stars in the night sky became my only company
In those stars I would find your eyes staring back at me,
When all hope was lost, when nothing was going my way,
Your eyes would shine through to brighten my day,
When the food bin was empty and my life raft was running out of supplies,
I would find the courage and strength to sustain myself in the memory of your eyes.
When all hope seemed lost and most would no longer try,
I would keep going just for one more chance to look into your eyes.
In that moment I would beg of life, please don’t deprive me, please don’t be mean
Because your eyes are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
And if I could no longer live no matter how hard I tried,
I couldn’t imagine a better way to die,
then to pass away peacefully with the memory of your eyes.
