Eyelash

Broken from my eye,

fallen on my palm in a flash

So near, and yet so far

Oh, my beautiful shiny eyelash.

Wishes abound hidden,

within the black cuticle of yours

And yet, thee, i wish to retain

just for the time, that was ours.

You irritated me, poking in my eye,

and often, you brought me tears

but without you, incomplete is my eye

for you were in it all these years.

Now you are gone, and have become a desolate's wish

and as I see you depart, i have but one desire

Come back, my love, to the eye of my heart

Come back, my love, for you, I admire.

Away, away, away you'll fly,

and before long, you'll be gone.

The lash of my eye, the beat of my heart,

why did you leave me alone?
