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
