In My Eyes
Why must I melt at your scent? Dissolve into everything that’s you? How can you stand your ground, Not knowing this way you make me feel? I close my eyes sometimes at night, And I can still taste your kiss, I imagine life in its perfection, And I realize what I miss. You know my mother, my sister, The abomination that I despise, Yet I know nothing of your friends. Can’t you see this in my eyes? My heart aches, and you don’t understand. My soul weeps and all I can do is strike, But still you forget the little things, And I mend my heart with spite. Sometimes I just let the tears fall, Collected beneath the shadow of my chin, And I imagine your arms about me, And the warmth resulting within. Sometimes I’m just lucky I guess, That I don’t break down inside. I just keep on hoping tentatively, That you’ll see it in my eyes. Written October 24th, 2001 © on Oct 24 2001 12:17 PM PST 18 • 0 • 8
