About This Poem

Through Your Eyes

There it is again… that messed up feeling
that somehow always comes back to taunt 
and laugh at my insecurities
It stabs again, re-breaks my heart

But then you come and say those words
that reach way down into my soul
You whisper things I need to hear 
Remind me that I’m valuable 

Here we go again… those memories
of too much wine and strangers’ lust
while needing love and security 
I learned to give but never trust

But then you come and take your time
You never rush, nor push nor pull
With gentle words, you blow my mind
With you, I feel so comfortable

Here they come again… those lying thoughts 
that broke my spirit and shattered dreams
I’m not as pretty as the girls on the screen 
Not as sultry as the girls in the magazines  

But then you come and call me lady
and that’s really how you make me feel 
I’ve never felt this way before
You make me feel so beautiful

Quand mes pensées me mentent,
Je veux me voir à travers tes yeux
When my thoughts tell me lies
I want to see through your eyes

    I took some French and...Okay! I cheated and looked down there in that little box and got the translation! (It is French, I hope?) Becca...This is right on and true-to-life stuff!... Oh yes indeed, here we go again...sounds like a lady well aquainted with herself - Tim

    Lucas Avatar Becca Lucas Date: 2/22/2013 8:32:00 PM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    haha you cheated huh? ;) Thanks for writing, Tim.

    Hmmm, Michelle P. huh? I take it that is the actress!! (Just reading what Frank said down here to ya) Also, he is right when he said, you can really write with the best of them. This was very enjoyable and I liked the vulnerability you showed through it.

    Lucas Avatar Becca Lucas Date: 2/22/2013 8:31:00 PM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    :) Frank is just being nice. Thank you, Andrea.
  1. Date: 2/22/2013 1:29:00 PM

    Hey! remember whom I once compared you to...MICHELLE P. You know who you both are.?..the same in my eyes. So ...don't ever forget that...and that you can really write here with the best of them.

    Lucas Avatar Becca Lucas Date: 2/22/2013 2:13:00 PM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    Yes I do remember, dear Frank :) One of the nicest things anyone has said to me, to compare me to her!! Wow! Thank you so much for your comment :) hugs

    This is a truly phenomenal and amazing write my friend! I loved reading this fantastic poem this afternoon! What an intriguing piece, you have written a truthful poem Becca! By the way, what does the last two lines mean in English, I don't even know what language it is written in, maybe French? This is Great Work!!

    Lucas Avatar Becca Lucas Date: 2/22/2013 2:10:00 PM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    thank you Russell... it basically says, "when my thoughts tell me lies, I want to see through your eyes" :) In French :) thank you! hugs
