                        the sparkle in my eyes
                                grew brighter,
                 and it was all
                                 because of you.

                    but there was just nothing
i could do.
        there was no control to my
              emotions -
           my thoughts and actions.
                you made my stomach
                                 a zoo.
you messed with my brain
and poked at my heart -
                                  to think, 
                    at first i thought you were art.
                         the first time i saw you,
                  my eyes became hearts.
         but the last time i did,
                    my eyes became oceans.

                                   goodnights
                           felt like goodbyes -
        they no longer seemed welcoming.

                                               the fire we once had,
                     was now gone and burnt;
                                   now that my friend,
was a big lesson learnt.
