Eyes of the Beholder

Splintered hopes, never ending fears,
Feels like life is falling with these tears.
Dripping, fading, slipping down now
As I am drained, I am wondering how
These eyes, both my friend and enemy
Both defend yet also deceive me
Yet all the while hold my destiny.

Right when I think I致e been drained to the core,
Tears sneak out to show me there is more.
Just when I think, I知 incapable to feel,
I taste this salty pain so real.
And as I watch the drops soak and crawl,
My eyes recall they致e seen both rise and fall,
Eyes so naked, yet they wear it all.

Eyes that fade when misery breaks in.
Bright lively eyes when enlightenment awakens.
Eyes that close to shut out the obscure.
Eyes that open, and are willing to endure.
They致e held the night mare痴, and the dreams
They致e held the cares, they致e held the screams.
They swim in the mysteries they cannot solve,
They drown in the tragedies they cannot dissolve.
Just as I think I know the truth from the lies,
My eyes open to show me otherwise.
Never staying still, never ceasing to fill
My mind with visions that make or break my will.

Blurred in vision, I try to make sense of it all.
I push out the tears, I let them fall.
And as I force everything out
I am releasing fears, releasing doubt.
And as I feel the liquid journey down my skin,
The guilt of my sins also wears thin.
And as I stare at what I致e released within,
These cleansed eyes see a new vision.

Such temporary, transparent tears
Can't always continue to hold my fears.
They fell so near, they dripped so clear
Paving the way, they washed out the old.
Told by the same eyes which broke my hold,
I saw a message they did send.
There is no beginning without an end.

What would you ask the Eyes of the Beholder to do?
To find the truths they will uncover for you?
Or to find the lies discovered true?
We know not what our eyes will find
Maybe its time we used our mind?
Or maybe all our senses combined?
