Eyes Wide Shut

That invisible eye,
I never meant to see
Stimulating my mind
Personality that blinds me

A few smiles here
A little sarcasm there
Heart worn on the sleeve
Showing years of wear

Compassionate yet true
a quality so rare
to none else’s I’ll try to compare
ever so tightly promises to hold
even with flaws and all
said he was sold

Pledged to keep me smiling
So I’ll never bear a frown
Pledge to keep me stable
Keeping my feet on the ground
Too many times kindness taken for granted
Wasn’t looking for love,
just something different,
Is all he ever wanted
