I look at you and smile.
I’ll always love that face.
Since the day I saw you.
My heart raced.

No one but you
Can keep it at that pace.
The love we share.

Nothing else in this world
Can compare.
I fell in love with you
After one stare.

Such beauty and grace.
I had to chase you.
Because you catch my eye.

Any time you are near.
I can clearly see.
It was always
Just meant to be.

You and me!

Tired eyes awaken and be at the ready...
For today has come with all of yesterday's debris.
Tired eyes you try but can't successfully conceal.
What the beating heart is dying to reveal.

Tired eyes glaze like you can't take anymore.
Filled to the brim; these sullen windows to my core.
Tired eyes give tears like you do effortlessly.
You seem so lifeless save for the drops you carry.

Tired eyes you say so much but yet the words are unspoken.
I know you quietly wish for a miracle to happen.
Tired eyes you reach but your arms are broken.
I know you scream out silently; all that's been forgotten.

Tired eyes why are you wide open but still you do not see...
See the sun rising, revealing all your wants splendidly.
Tired eyes I know you are but only waiting.
For the picturesque view of your heart's secret painting.

Tired eyes it's time and it's the end of a work day.
Don't anticipate tomorrow's load; just rest as I lay.
Tired eyes I am aware of sweet solace that you truly seek.
Tired eyes rest now so that tomorrow you might speak...

I’m sorry for being too much
And I don’t deserve to feel like too much
But I do
And it has very little to do with you
Your only choice is if you want to help me believe differently.

I’m not afraid to lose.
It means I tried.
I have the right to choose.
Push shame aside.
Wipe away these blues.
Faith be my guide.
I’ll always pay my dues.
Let insults slide.
They won’t be able to bruise
this woman’s pride.
