Smeared

By Noelani

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I'll let you know, my greatest fear Is because of you With your vision unclear Your eyes hazy with dew Struggling to peer To see who stands before you As I wipe away, a solitary tear My voice giving you a clue Urging you to see, with what you hear Forming an image from the heart so true Remembering it was only back a year When you could see us clear, and like new I stand by you near So you can make out how I grew Squinting until you eyes are in gear And in your mind you drew An image of me so dear I stand there, my heart heavy and blue Looking into a world of a mirror Where opposite is many, and true is few And I see my own vision go fuzzy and smear I feel tears streaming anew In fear, oneday, you won't recognize me.
