Failing Iris

My failing iris
i am losing sight
the longer i am
when will it be
light no longer shine

My failing iris
everything become blurry
i saw the world
through an artificial len
shielding the real me

My failing iris
it betrayed me
i can't hide my feelings
in me, the brown iris
everything is known

My failing iris
whether i am sad
whether i am happy
whether i am hollow
lies the real me

My failing iris
how i avoid contact
afraid to be seen through
thoughts collected there
emotions ignite there

My failing iris
small and distant
but provocative
a little stare
and fire combust

My failing iris
it aint charming
wish it was otherwise
how i hate it
overflowing through me

My failing iris
the searching sight
for the very one
to fill the void
that was inside

My failing iris
when its gone
replaced it
become in one
the real me
the real you
become my failing iris
