Green Eyes

Emeralds daggers carved out both my eyes Leaving me blind, just enough to escape the lies ‘I wanna be yours’ recites over and over in my mind If I looked in yours would it be love I find? Constant appraisal appears to be your biggest flaw You, your vanity and I, entangled in this ménage a tois But I cannot describe this feeling when I look at you A mix of love and hate, the old saying been said to a fair few Those eyes melt me as if I was a sugar cube to your coffee Your woeful ballads echo through my slumber ever solemnly Haunt me in my dreams, awake with the feel of heavy hearted Each night I lay there thinking will we finish what we started My head asks me to leave but my heart protest That I would pick you above all the rest The first glance I knew from the very start That it would be you and I, till death do us part
