A Sea of Sapphire

I’d let you in that very night.
Those sapphire eyes still burn within me.
I dropped all defenses.
Your kiss still lingers on my lips.
Even now I’m invisible without your touch.
Tears welled up inside; In that one moment I saw
true sincerity in your eyes.

Sitting upon this sandy shore, the sea resembles those
deep sapphire eyes. I’d seen the depths of you; you stole
a part of me, I’ll never get back.
I’m too afraid to take that step of faith,
to seek truth in love again.
I can barely breathe.
Your sapphire eyes haunt me to this day.

You took my hand in the dark, told me not fear what was happening.
Those sapphire eyes promised me the world.
Here I am today, broken and numb, learning how to breathe again.
Betrayed by those sapphire eyes.
It’s hard to let go of the sweet memory of you.
 Even if that one moment was a lie, it was very real to me.

I will forever be lost at sea, in your sapphire eyes.
I’m no longer afraid to forgive and admit I once loved you
and your beautiful sapphire eyes.
