Eyes Wide Open

I can see the swirl around me

I can feel the brush of fate

I can hear the whispered words

And the warnings come too late

For I knew in the beginning

What the cost would be

Yet I paid the price completely

Though the cost was great for me

I can see

My eyes are wide open

And I know the truth

My lips cannot say

I can feel

And I feel sorrow

As I see 

With eyes wide open.
