Your Eyes
Your Eyes
Your innocent and forgiving eyes
Break down any disguise I may devise
They look at me and through me at the same time
Piercing the wall of scars
Breaking down my bars…
Unconsciously, sensing what I need
Feeling my vibes
Feeding my needs
Opening my heart wide
So they can see what’s inside…
They calm my spirits when I’m in emotional distress
Give me hope when I’m in duress
Peace when my mind is on a thousand chases
Focus when my heart races
Always taking me to better places…
They see the pain in my laughter
Offer me shelter after
Move closer when my body says stay away
Reassuring me everything will be okay
This is what your eyes say…
