If These Eyes Could Lie

Locked up, shackled, tied down and chained Feeling empty, exhausted, used up and drained Your heart unsettled with its flickering flame Probing for answers in life's little game I hear your cries echoing into the dark night I could tell you everything will be alright I feel your big lonely heart splitting apart I could say I'll give your heart a fresh start I hear your words begging to stop the blues I could say I will be your knight and rescue you I hear the tremble in your voice when you speak I could tell you I'd hug you and kiss your cheek These eyes don't lie, I'll probably never be with you My tears fall knowing there is nothing more I can do * I was awakened from my dream where I was thought to be someone who I wasn't But I am who I am and everything you see is just me. Sweet Dreams All.

Superb sonnet my friend. Closing two verses are a perfect summation to so many real life happenings. Poetry in dreams comes to me as well. Its our inner spirit speaking to us methinks. A7

A sonnet that can as easily be a lyric for a song, Tim. Even in sadness youe romantic style is very apparent. Good one!
