Eyes
I tell myself I don’t like you anymore
and I tell you the same
but that’s a lie even I can’t hide or ignore…
my eyes are to blame.
The eyes never lie
and I know you see them too,
the way that they dilate
when I’m just looking at you.
I need to learn to look away,
I don’t want you to know
that even after everything
my feelings still seem to show
It’s killing me inside
knowing this will never be
So I’ll tell myself I don’t like you
And maybe
it’ll set me free
