Adolescent Aftertaste

The sky opens wide
To bury me in light
My cries not uncommon
Irises soaked in white
You saw perfection
In a newborn's smile
Whoever imagined
It would be worth your while
The brightest boy of all
In elementary days
Has the love that you poured
Gone to so much waste?
Grow to be a doctor, not how you expected
Can that perfect angel stand resurrected?

Think now
And one moment without your embrace
Is like a near-death experience
I swear to you that you will be proud
Until the day I am swallowed
By that sky.

Do not look sour upon these freckles
The boy which whom you would never know
They soon enough will sparkle
Like the eyes of a twilight's glow.
