shifty eyes watch me
and your smile is the disguise
that hides your true intentions that lie
deep in those deceitful eyes
you notice the scars
and your concern makes my heart rise
but again i am reminded
that the past is clouded with lies
your hand intertwined in mine
and i gladly settled
into your arms
as you skipped pebbles
"let's just be friends" i said at the skating rink
and you cheerfully agreed
but when i skated past you
the deceitful eyes made an appearance (the hatred burst from this seed)
hours to days and days to a month
we crossed paths again on the train
i cautiously took a seat next to you and your friends
and you proudly planted a kiss on my left side brain
days later you return to your icy self
and i ask myself again
if i'm ready to take the plunge with you
as my shaking thumb pressed send
"he only wants to take you" my friend says
"please be careful" implies another
"i don't think you should" his friend whispers
"stay away from him" says my mother
but the mystery that is you
keeps me coming back
but you will never love me
and that is a fact.

young love eats at the edges of my heart and leaves me incomplete
