Oh, lover

please forgive me.

For

when I look at you,

I can no longer look at you the same.

Your eyes were once so adoring

but they are something

I am no longer faithfully exploring.

I cannot gaze at you

as I have before

but know

you are something I still adore.

I, still

can envision

all the hues in your eyes;

a holy temple to my soul.

Oh,

so lover

forgive me.

These eyes of mine cry

and these eyes of mine try

to see your perfection clearly

but wearily

it fails.

Oh,

so lover

forgive me

forgive my eyes.
