In sight
your eyes say
I have to leave you
because I need to stay.
I am blind,
love is, they tell me.
The two people inside me
have agreed,
fought bitter battles,
near to the death fights...
bit I won through.
After careful preparation
decide to stay,
live on to fight
another day
with an image of your eyes
saying go away,
insoluble.
