Big Eyes

Lucy Tonic

Even as a child

You always had those bright, big eyes

And what I wouldn't give now to see

Those bright, big eyes again

I was never a good match

Still settled just to hear you laugh

But even in your widest smile

Your eyes were fixed on your lost child

How can someone who emits such light

Be magnetized to their demise

I wish I had the chance to tell you

The abyss has stared back at me too
