From our very first encounter,
Since our paths first crossed,
it has been apparent that you are utterly infatuated with the human eye.
How you find each pair to be so captivating and wonderful,
each aspect of each iris is an amazing discovery to you:
every hue
every color fragment
every spot and freckle

every intricate detail
every beautiful flaw
you’ve always deeply treasured the beauty of eyes
Partly because they are truly miniature orbs of art
Partly because you envy the colors that compose a majority of the eyes around you,
For yours are dark and monochromatic, the color of sod.

But your eyes are more splendid than those of the brightest blues or the deepest greens
Because, yes, yours are the color of sod- they're the color of the foundation of life.
From your eyes, life flourishes and grows.
Your eyes are the soil that nourishes entire rainforests;
producing and nurturing immense varieties of life

But lately, your life-bringing eyes have lost their light.

Your eyes have gone cold, the earth in them has frozen over
The trees have fallen, the flowers wilted and dead
What once was full of joy and life,
is now a desolate wasteland.
The darkness in your heart,
the sadness that you've fought for so long to suppress,
has finally broken out.
seeping into your bloodstream,
infiltrating your veins
filling your lungs
stripping you of everything that makes up who you are

You have lost so much to this god-forsaken darkness.
It has ravaged your body and poisoned your soul.
It has torn its way slowly from your heart,
stealing any trace of your light as spreads.
It has tainted your laughter and broken your smile,
and now... now, my love, it has tarnished your sweet eyes;
the very thing that you cherish so much in this world....
and i think that is what saddens me the most.
