~I have your eyes~

shiv

You gave me my best feature
You gave me your eyes

Along with novenas on Tuesday nights
Propensity for health complaints
Jesus mercy, Mary help motto to repeat
In times of distress

Will I ever be as strong as your weakest moments?

All the kids you've cared for
The imprint on countless lives
Was giving up your home and family
Really worth the sacrifice?

Not as much a dynamo with people
The life of the party
All these things I once resented
I don't need to be I realize

I have your eyes

Love of any type of heat
Tendency to wear scarves inside
Freaky psychic bond

This need to over-analyze
Wanting to lie down in a dark room
When the world seems to be coming to an end

I too struggle when the sadness wants in

Do you see pieces of yourself
At the oddest times
Or is it more continous
This likeness?

My ever-present bad fashion sense
Paranoia over what everyone else thinks
Is it somehow familiar?

For me it's
Every morning
Every mirror
Every collection of photographs
I come across
I find

I'm always looking into
And out of
Your eyes

thats great shiv..as always.
