Through These Eyes

By Laura Dee Battle June 12, 2013 I've realized These smile lines Are hypnotized Through tired eyes Make it whole The heart you stole No light is shone I feel alone Promises made False serenades Refusing to see The space between Cannot believe How you and me Endure the solstice Of lonely nights Let’s cut out the need for silence My past now can only make sense Seeing the honesty through these eyes I can’t bear to have this pain disguised My haunted past Covered in glass These gaping wounds Re-opened soon Accessories And memories Are what I have To take me back It’s only fair These strands of hair Will get too long To sing our song But could it be Coming misery Will like a tower Wash to the sea? Could we see hope float to the surface And seal our doubts in this sarcophagus? Could we see through the pain in these eyes The silver lining through these trying times? It’s not easy To really see Maybe this hope Leaves me alone I blankly stare Through longer hair Return this heart From mountain air We’ll understand When holding hands That what we own Can hold up stone From here on out I’ll quell my doubt Through painted lines That speed up time It’s only a matter of time It’s only a matter of time Before I hold you again And bright eyes realign *listening to...* ["growing old is getting old" by Silversun Pickups]
