if only

By Shnu •
if only you could see
the world through my eyes
you'd see that in you
there's nothing to despise
for you are an angel
a goddess of youth
blinded by pain
you cannot see the truth
and you do not see
the wonders you invoke
and how you install
a lifetime of hope
i wish i could lend you
my eyes for a day
then maybe you'd find
a reason to stay
