we say
no strings attached
we say
feelings won't get in the way
we say
it's meaningless
but two people
that have engaged
in this type of behavior knows
that feelings do get in the way
that emotions are stirred
and hearts are broken
and love is present
I find myself dumbfounded
when thinking
that I could have ever thought
that I wouldn't love you one day
and now
I just look into your eyes
I say a word or two
we're both confused
it's painful
and stupid
yet
it's the best thing that has ever happened to me

Your eyes,
they are like wildflowers.
They wander around in spiritual freedom.
And they are strong as ever.

Sometimes when they twinkle,
They twinkle like two stars,
That shines the brightest up in a Georgian night sky.

I wish your eyes would twinkle that way
When they met mine.

And if only your eyes could tell you,
How much sorrow they discovered in my eyes.
So that maybe one day,
You would come back to me and heal it.


People used to tell me that
my eyes were beautiful.
But who in the world knows how
my eyes would have that ability,
To blind people from seeing that
they were actually pretty sad too...

Hush!
   Don't say a word.
Tell me a story
   with your eyes.

Milk chocolate
   speckled with gold.
Deep
       Dark
               Dilated

My dear, your smile is no disguise.
   Take me away, you say
your sadness so deeply pronounced.

And further beyond
   Passion
               Endeavor
Won't you come out to play?

Deep
       Dark
               Dilated

Bat your lashes and away
   but I see you now
and I'll see you again
   For eyes, darling, never lie.

If you come as softly
As the wind within the trees
You may hear what I hear
See what sorrow sees.

If you come as lightly
As threading dew
I will take you gladly
Nor ask more of you.

You may sit beside me
Silent as a breath
Only those who stay dead
Shall remember death.

And if you come I will be silent
Nor speak harsh words to you.
I will not ask you why now.
Or how, or what you do.

We shall sit here, softly
Beneath two different years
And the rich between us
Shall drink our tears.

How do I say
How I feel
You're an enigma
I can't fiddle
In this night
Of bewilder

How do we know
When we're really in love?
Sometimes
It's really just a tale

The idea of love
Seems so nice
Where we dance along
Under the northern lights
Eventually the dawn will break
And all will come to fade

The idea of love is sweet and pure
But we forget, the darkness it keeps, demure
It's hard to love
A girl like you
Who builds walls that no one knew

I try to enter but to no avail
Your walls are hard as steel
And after all, I'm just a dill
It takes two hands to clap, you'd say
But why does it always seem
Like a facade

The stars continue to shine
As brightly as ever for you my shrine
You give me some kind of happiness
I can't find

Yet I know it will end some way
This happiness is temporary and forged I'd say
I don't even know if it's true
Disillusioned and in love
Such a thrill

People often see
The things that are dure
And sometimes
Not the things that are pure.

//

Uncertainty creeps up on me
I need a sign, to set me free
All I'm doing is playing games
With my heart and my brain

Show me the way
That's my plea
I hope this illusion
Is not just me
