-red eyes in the morning-
let there be
no good or evil,
vice or virtue.
let there be
no past or future,
reminiscence or hope.

for in this void, i see
that smile so familiar yet so distant.
it seemed like it could go on forever.
i smile, in return,
like it did not hurt.

i say,
i would have cried,
if i had a shoulder that familiar.
i say,
i would have teared,
if tears were that sombre.

yet, in the bitterness i taste,
and the sweet voices in my head,
i lay my spinning head to rest,
saying,
'i'd trade tomorrow for yesterdays',
and waking up to the red eyes in the morning.

For you.
