I look deep into his eyes
trying to see my forever
trying to redeem the lost time
trying to envision a life
together...

If the eyes are windows to the soul
then where exactly am I?
As I trek deeper into the confines
of those beautiful eyes,
I have to wonder to myself
do the eyes sometimes tell lies?

How do I know that
it's *our
future I see?
Not reels of the past,
visions of lost dreams...

As I stare deeper,
his eyes captivate me
as I look at him intently
I wonder the reverse,
what does he see?

his face becomes a blur
as I get lost within those lashes
his soul is aflame with passion
as I sift through the ashes

what tragedies,
what agonies,
what misspent youth
what vindications,
what feelings,
what untold truth?

I'm driving myself crazy
with these guesses aloof
maybe we aren't meant
to know another's soul
escape their eyes with
valid proof

I come back to reality
and softly grab his face,
kiss him sweet and softly
enjoy the embrace

I don't think even a lifetime
would reveal what the eyes,
what the soul
*sees

Run away
Far away
Become somebody
New

Leave yourself
Your life behind
You have so much more
To do

You are not bound
By this evil past
that haunts and follows
You

So run away my dear
Escape into a life
You never dreamed of
Never knew

I take a deep breath
I'm stressed to my core
My ex fiance keeps following me
begging me for something more
Though I once loved him,
I have to stand my ground
there is no forgiveness
for all the things I found
We can never move on
we can never be the same
this is something I must accept
and he is the one to blame
so when I face him today
I'll make it very clear
that our time has come and gone
the end of "us" is near.

Right and wrong parallel each other
And sometimes intersect
Sometimes one is better than another
For each I have respect

It is all about perspective
They serenely say
Well I disagree, I believe
There are areas of grey

Sometimes good people do bad things
And bad people do good things
After all we are all human
All have a soul the same

Does a line have to be drawn
To separate one from the other
Or can we view them as one in the same
Each each others brother

Nobody is perfect
Every rose has it's thorn
Everybody has a secret
Everyone a bit careworn

So next time you are quick to judge
Remember this simple fact 
The world does not live
In shades of white and black

Leaves cascade around me
Like the memories in my head
Some of them so painful
They are better left unsaid

There's a chill in the air
Its not quite cold just yet
As the autumn breeze blows
I wish I will get amnesia
And just forget

Forget the way you held me
Forget the way you lied
Forget the good things 
With the bad
Bury it deep down inside

I may seem "dead" right now
Just like all the trees
But I will grow back stronger
Grow up with some new leaves

Even though you're gone now
Here I still remain
Ill see you in the spring
After I am over the pain

You once told me
as you held me in your arms
that I wasn't allowed
to pierce my body
smoke cigarettes
or
"be pretty"

In case you don't remember dear
you pierced my heart
when you pierced my body
then left me for another woman

its a hole that has become a scar
a shimmering reminder
on my beating heart

It's been three months now
since I last felt your touch
and to be quite frank
I need a rush

so I'll do whatever I want
without you

I take a deep breath
he slides in the needle
I exhale and now it's there
a new scar on my body
a new daily reminder
and guess what babe
Your opinion?
I don't care

His breath on my skin
his hand on my heart
his devilish sin
his poisonous dart

that pierced my body
made me toxically ill
paralyzed my mind
against my will

He left me here
angry and alone
wondering what happened
unable to move a bone

and yet, i miss him
despite all the pain
my senses are dim
as my soul is aflame

How did this happen
his arid dejection
I gave him my all
my every affection

Obviously it didn't mean
as much to him
as it did to me
