Every Time I Look Into Your Eyes

Every time I look into your eyes

Something breaks inside

My lips don’t turn, my stomach churns

When I reminisce the beautiful times.

Every time I look into your eyes,

I starve to find that love.

But all I get is muffled cries,

Hidden somewhere behind your mesmerizing orbs.

Every time I look into your eyes,

I regret every single time I waved you away.

Oh how I wish I could go back in time

When you were the start and end of my day.

Every time I look into your eyes,

I gasp at the hatred they radiate.

I’d change it all in the roll of a dice

But you’ve got too much on your plate.

Yeah, I do. I still love you! Broken up or not.

Take me back, just this once.

I’ll give you the reasons you want.

I realised that I made a big mistake

When I said I needed space.

Now that I am sure you are all I need,

You don’t want anything to do with me.

Your guard is up, I know why.

I just left- without so much of a goodbye.

Now that I need you? You don’t need my lies…

But all I want is to look into those eyes.

Because every time I looked into your eyes,

I was proud to say you’re mine

But I guess that’s what is life

And you lose when you cross the line.
