PDS v2
I couldn’t see the right words, maybe it’s these damn eyes.
Green Eyes
I have PDS (pigment dispersion syndrome)
My eyes got darker over time.
I could have gone blind.
Thanks PDS.
Black spots appeared.
It happened all at once.
I couldn’t see.
Mostly.
I went to the ophthalmologist
Pretty much the next day.
They told me I’ll go blind
I looked at my eyes again
That hurt the worst.
They made me…
me
Drops dulled the ache.
I lost my green.
Today they’re like olives!
I see the light green
But the brown is now there.
An angel spoke to me.
Please give me your eyes.
I want them to look only at me
But PDS took them away.
I miss them.
She gazed at me.
If only she could see.
But she saw only past.
I lied.
I wish I hadn’t but...
Am I me?
If I could have seen
just a moment sooner
Would I still be?
Could she be mine?
Fuck these damn eyes.
It wasn’t them was it?
It was really just my
own foolish pride.
Because of these damn eyes.
At least I can see.
I guess they’re now just for…
me.
