Dimeyes

The looks that hurt
And the feelings that burn
Attraction is seen
But the actions, absurd.
Eager enthrallment is never found hidden
But rather is seen- on the forehead is written

The effort one can give without
Ever even being recognized
Causes for bitter tries
And pain filled demise.

But look in his eyes
You'll see he feels right
Yes, look in his eyes
He feels he's in sight

He knows it in fact 
But everyone's crazy
Everyone's wrong
Or all just too lazy...

They fail to look further
To dig deep and stare
They fail to see his real needs 
They seem to not care

But he knows of the truth;
The sad little bit.
That they feel just the same
But they won't admit
Nor you, nor I, nor any other person
So we let it build up,
and the feeling is worsened.

We all scream for help
With our hesitant stares
But we all are so selfish 
Who the f*** really cares?

You, my dear friend.
You're all that you've got.
You, my dear friend.
Whether you trust it or not.

So maybe next time
You look in my eyes
You'll slowly remember
And start to recognize 
That in our dimeyes 
We never fail to hide
Our biggest life struggles 
Our reasons of pride

Let go and subside
Let go and reside
Let go for your life
Just be and let go.
