I wish you knew what lies behind these eyes
what sort of hidden meaning they behold
what they are trying to convey
how they scream at you to hear them
but know you will never listen
asking to break down the walls
and fight away the fear
to bring me close with
every intention of holding on forever
more so often these eyes
are of a questioning matter
and with questions come unwanted answers
or none at all
the thing that kills is
not knowing which is worse
these eyes fear rejection but much more
the unknown
because they do not know and are completely scared
that what lies behind these eyes is not
what lies behind yours.

I wish you knew what lies behind these eyes
what sort of hidden meaning they behold
what they are trying to convey
how they scream at you to hear them
but know you will never listen
asking to break down the walls
and fight away the fear
to bring me close with
every intention of holding on forever
more so often these eyes
are of a questioning matter
and with questions come unwanted answers
or none at all
the thing that kills is
not knowing which is worse
these eyes fear rejection but much more
the unknown
because they do not know and are completely scared
that what lies behind these eyes is not
what lies behind yours.
