You hated your eye colour Called it a dull and ***** brown Wished for the deep blue of an ocean Where admirers hearts would drown And it pained me when I realised You’d never see it like I do That I want to read right through They hold specks of stolen sunlight That you’d miss with just one glance And a depth of raw emotion That can freeze you in a trance They’re a fix of melted chocolate When I look into your eyes The brown of the earths unfettered beauty That I yearn to memorise When I was tired of not belonging They made me feel like I’d been found
Never trust a mirror For a mirror always lies It makes you think that all you’re worth Can be seen from the outside Never trust a mirror It only shows you what’s skin deep You can’t see your eyelids flutter When you’re drifting off to sleep It doesn’t show you what the world can see When you’re only being you Or how your eyes light up And your reflection cannot tell you Everything you mean to me Never trust a mirror For it only shows your skin And if you think it dictates what your worth It’s time to look within
