Eye of the Beholder

Truth is like beauty
    tainted by perception
    in the eye of the beholder
What did you behold?
    what was in my eyes
        make me understand
No clear line is drawn
    and i try so hard
    to separate memories
        from reality
Try to make myself move past you
Because i have no choice
    but to follow through
    i told you to be happy
What is joy?
    to be content
        or to love every breath in this life
Perhaps to wait for this life to end
    All the colors of my heart
    fade and pass away
An overtone of grey
that contains everything and nothing
    just like me
    just like you
i had to know the truth
    i had to lose you
Truth is like beauty
    tainted by perception
    in the eye of the beholder
