"Beautiful Eyes" I won't let you go He said with tears in his throat I'll be here by your side Until you open, you open your eyes He looked at the beautiful girl That had radically changed his world Quietly, he watched her breathing Crying out to God Please, don't let her be leaving The one bright face I have in my life Is pale, almost grey But, still of beauty there was still a trace Her beautiful eyes hadn't opened For more than a week And her heart was becoming weak Her body was all bones And nothing seemed to be in her Except her soul As he sat there those beautiful eyes Finally opened for just a moment, though He tried to keep his tears from choking himself She smiled and touched his face Then, her hand fell with eloquent grace And those eyes would NEVER,EVER open again He knew his heart would NEVER mend. ~By Caitlin Ruddell~
