5 minute poetry

[Fenris]

Do We Have To Move On?

As I look deeply into the depths your eyes,
I see the faint shadow of a smile
From years gone by.

Why must that smile be from years gone by?
Why can't I keep that smile by my side
Through the rest of time?

That smile has sustained, entertained, and maimed me,
Tamed, claimed, and stained me.
But I never wanted to see it wane.

As the smile became more and more feign,
The skies were filled with more and more rain,
And the world would look upon me with shame,
As if I was playing yesterday's game.

But as I stare into the depths of your eyes,
I think of all that I have gained,
As the smile broke my chains
And carried me away.

As I look deeply into the depths of your eyes,
I ask why I can't stay in your smile.
