i used to hate my eyes
because all of the tears i let them cry
now i look at my chocolate pools of wonder
and see myself in the ones i love
i used to not be able to look people in the eyes
fearful of the second that they might figure me out
but i’m a lifelong mystery that i have yet to crack
so i stare into the eyes of strangers until they become intimated
when the sunlight hits just right
i promise they turn into a *** of gold
can you see my soul?
behold, i got love for everyone who’s ever admired my eyes
windows to the soul make you enter a new paradigm
and i got time
my eyes have this habit of making you fall in love with me
you might wanna close them for the mean time
the underlying of my iris has memories from many moons ago
i know i’m kinda eerie after four beers
unless you wanna get out of here?
then i can be sweet
but i promise i won’t sweep you off your feet
i’m retired
they say not to play with fire but i’m a fire sign
so ill burn until there’s no more rhymes
i’m a catalyst for your pain
she won’t ever make you feel free
my eyes they’ve seen many lives
they reflect my soul in the ways i create
that’s something only a few of us can relate to
some of us see bright but still end up blind
