Do Not Look At Me With Those Eyes

Do not look at me with those eyes

Those sorrow-filled eyes that believe those lies

Which come from a Monster, in beauty disguised

Do not look at me with those eyes.

 

Do not silence me when I speak

Of hope that glimmers through moments bleak

As if my pity is all you seek

Do not silence me when I speak.

 

I cannot bear to see you broken

For though my heart remains unspoken,

In my dreams, you smile 'til I have woken

I cannot bear to see you broken.

 

Do not look at me with those eyes

Because in them, I recognize

I love you more than I realized

Please, do not look at me with those eyes.
