the attempt

your eyes are evergreen
asking to be shown and seen

flowers bloom under your sight
without you there is no light

steps on a crosswalk
our paths collide
our eyes engage in warfare
frozen on the target
yet we've forgotten the
location of the launch button
now our backs are to each other
my face wants to turn back
but fears you'll do the same
unfortunately you also think of this
keeping your head fixated ahead
but looking for a mirror to see my actions
disappointment fills your veins as
you see me do nothing

now all to remember are
those evergreen eyes
keeping my mind preoccupied throughout the day
fueled by mystery you continue to stay

the blooming path of flowers
will take me through the final hours
